I am now looking at
https://orgmode.org/list/CAL9aZkusXaNVCu7+nO-ic8SHhwVdOiXYtDyF=Gz7h+NoLaOZXQ@mail.gmail.com

It uses [FEATURE REQUEST] in the subject.
May Woof! also support such full-form triggers?

Something like:
1. [FEATURE]
2. [PROPOSAL]
3. [FEATURE REQUEST]
4. [REQUEST]
5. [DISCUSSION]

Woof! instances can have custom subject prefixes for report types.

https://tracker.orgmode.org/source/emacs-orgmode/howto list accepted
prefixes right now for requests: FP, FR, RFC, RFE, TASK, POLL

We could locally add "FEATURE REQUEST", or "FEATURE PROPOSAL" but it
may be confusing to have too many prefixes, and trying to catch what
users will half-randomly try will not work.

Assuming a maintainer will be able to requalify an illformatted report
into a proper one (e.g. declare any email as "request"), what would be
really needed on top of FP, FR, RFC, RFE, TASK, POLL ?

> 1. [FEATURE]

I don't like "FEATURE" because it is not specific enough: is it a
report about a feature, or a request for a new feature, a discussion
of an existing feature?

I don't like "DISCUSSION" because it is way too general too.

Why is it confusing? We do not have to document all of them in howto,
but a good heuristics will not hurt. Also, the number of possible
prefixes users use in practice is not that large, at least not on Org
ML.

I'd rather not have to do this job when we can create a programmatic
rule.

>> 1. [FEATURE]
>> 2. [PROPOSAL]
>> 3. [FEATURE REQUEST]
>> 4. [REQUEST]
>> 5. [DISCUSSION]

Sure.
