--- Comment #13 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Pedro F. Giffuni from comment #12)

tldr; an issue should reflect the/its latest 'intent' at all times.

One can effectively 'suspend' an issue precisely by obsoleting all patches,
leaving nothing proposed/to be done (as seen by issue viewers), hence my
suggestion to do so.

Additionally, assigning it to yourself 'until you have something better' is=
 the
best way to ensure something else doesn't get done in the meantime, or when=
 you
are 'the next step' to moving the issue forward

Assignee just means 'current' assignee and is not set in stone. The type of
committer (doc, src, ports) has no bearing on this as all committers can co=
mmit
anywhere given approval. Obtaining that approval does not require the appro=
ver,
say me (ports) for you (src) on this issue, to be the Assignee at any time.

Using this issue as an example:

* There's a patch, but now not being proposed as the 'now' fix in lieu of a
future one. The issue in totality currently reads as "a better patch will be
provided at some point". Therefore:

 - Obsolete patch
 - keywords: needs patch
 - Assign: person-this-issue-is-blocked-on (to provide patch)

Result =3D issue is effectively suspended, assigned to pfg for the next mov=
e.

Hope this helps to clarify some of the reasons for certain things
