Hmmm, to put that in process terms: it means that a bug can't be closed until there is a test for that bug in the test suite. That would be good, but I'm not ready to go as far as to make it a requirement for closing a PR. We've already got several problems with PR's: the number of open PR's increases with time; and most PR's go for a long time before getting any attention. I like to be a little conservative about closing PR's but I'm not willing to add a requirement that a PR has a test. cgf> Would it make sense to add the test for a reported bug before a patch to cgf> fix it is submitted? I don't think so. It might be sensible to have these requirements in parallel: test must be committed before closing PR code fix must be committed before closing PR But I don't think it helps to require "test must be committed before code fix is committed".
