why not mark them as severity="enhancement" type and exclude from counting queries?



I agree with this. I remember that over the summer, quite a few new spells that were sent to spell submit were never added, and were lost in the mounds of emails received. By adding the new spell as a bug, they are far less likely to be lost. I personally for my section would rather have a new spell sent to me as a bug "enhancement" than the submit list.

I still have many in my dedicated IMAP folder that I'm planning to attend to when time permits, and they're for several sections which are not all mine. Having new stuff in the lists puts too much trust into gurus having time or desire to deal with new spells. Also, if you have a new guru, having to direct him/her to Bugzilla for "enh" bugs for particular section is ways better than telling him/her to search the lists. They're not searchable, btw.

Sergey.


To be completely honest, I wouldn't mind ditching the spell-submit list in favor of bugzilla completely. But that is me, and I know some people do prefer the submit list, actually now that I think about it, the last time I heard anyone saying that they liked the submit list was so that people in other sections could play around w/ the spells before they were added. So, if it'd be possible to have bugzilla be the main source of adding new spells, and have bugzilla send out the emails to spell-submit, and use SM-Grimoire for section updates, I'd love to do that so that I would have one less list I absolutely have to pay attention to, and could possibly even unsubscribe.
