[Process Improvement]: Tag and/or annotate each issue with metadata #85

Closed simontegg closed 8 years ago

Value: When we annotate with metadata ('value', a time estimate, category) it becomes easier to feedback and prioritise tasks collectively. Its also easier to get a sense of where our focus is going as a group.

interesting discussion on this in https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/26.

based on your suggestion, worth echoing

I like the Rust taxonomy where issues have area, effort, impact and priority tags. A simple documentation fix gets tagged A-docs + E-easy + I-papercut + P-low, a crash on OS X A-macos + E-hard + I-crash + P-high, etc. The multi-dimensional aspect makes it pretty effective.
