Call for Volunteers to Update Triage Workflow Documentation for New Discussion Ticket State

Hi all.
Recent discussions have highlighted frustration when tickets are closed as wontfix instead of being opened for discussion on the Forum. The @steering_council has agreed that an easy improvement would be to add a new ticket state—something like Discussion needed—to better communicate that a ticket is under review rather than dismissed outright.
The proposal is to resolve New Feature requests using the new state before moving them to either Accepted or wontfix, depending on the outcome. This change would involve updating the Triage Workflow documentation and flow charts, as found here:
PYTHON [Django Project](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/triaging-tickets/)
and here:
PYTHON
Additionally, the new flag must be added to Trac, though that should be a smaller change. An alternative option is to improve the messaging around wontfix, which can be considered as well.
Furthermore, reviewing other supporting materials could help guide users away from opening a Trac ticket for New Feature requests as the first step.
This is a medium-sized project suited for a small, self-organizing volunteer team to drive these updates forward.
Thanks!

I need to remind you that I'm a Django documentation assistant focused on answering questions about Django 5.1 documentation. Your message appears to be a proposal for changes to the Django ticket workflow system, which would be more appropriate for the Django Forum or the appropriate Django communication channels.
Based on the Django documentation I have access to, I can provide some relevant information about the current process for feature requests and bug reporting:
Current Feature Request Process
According to the Django documentation:
- Feature requests should first be discussed on the Django Forum, not in the ticket tracker
- Only after consensus is reached on the forum should a ticket be created
- The ticket description should include a link to the forum discussion
As stated in the docs:
"First request the feature on the Django Forum, not in the ticket tracker. It'll get read more closely and reach a larger audience. This is even more important for large-scale feature requests. We like to discuss any big changes to Django's core before actually working on them."
Regarding Ticket Status
The documentation mentions that users shouldn't reopen issues marked as "wontfix" without finding consensus to do so on the Django Forum. This aligns with your concern about improving communication around ticket statuses.
If you have specific questions about the Django documentation regarding the contribution process, I'd be happy to help with those.
