From: lsmith@php.net (Lukas Smith)

Hi,

some of you may be aware of the wiki I set up to manage/document the 
todo lists and parts of the release management for PHP releases. In 
response to this Wez created a set of patches to enable developers to 
set milestones (aka PHP versions) for bug reports. While I do not think 
this replaces the need for the wiki (which is maintained independent of 
php.net ressources anyways), which is way more flexible, I think its a 
very good addition.

For example we currently mark things as "fixed in CVS" even if things 
will never be fixed in the branch for which the user filed the bug 
report (like with the streams API). Therefore I think its a very 
important tool to let users know when things will get fixed. I could see 
the same kinds of things happen with unicode issues being reported in 
the 5.x branch but only getting addressed in php 6.x.

Anyways I think it would be a good idea to add this feature again along 
with the ability to filter by milestones on the "advanced search" page. 
I think this would make the life of our RMs alot easier as well.

regards,
Lukas
