Problem/Motivation

I did some grepping to find @todo items that reference closed issues 

grep -r "@todo .*[\r\n]* https://.*drupal.org/.*" . | grep -o  '/[0-9]\+' | while read -r line ; do
     markup=$(curl --silent "https://www.drupal.org/node$line" | hxnormalize -x) 
     status=$(echo $markup |  hxselect '.field-name-field-issue-status .field-item' | sed 's/<\/\?[^>]\+>//g')
     if [[ "$status" == *"Closed"* ]]; then
       echo "[#$line]" | sed 's/\///g'
     fi
 done | uniq

39 were found on the initial run. These should be cleaned up.

Proposed resolution

Create child issues for each of the closed @todo items. In that child issue:

  • If it can be confirmed that the @todo is truly addressed in the referenced issue, follow the instructions of the @todo then remove it
  • If the circumstances of the @todo are not truly addressed, find out if the @todo should be referencing a different existing issue, or create a new one to address the needs of the @todo.
  • As issues are completed, update the issue summary to document that, so it's not neccessary to rely on drupal.org dynamically representing the issue status.

Many of these issues can get a novice tag, but this can be omitted if the solution seems like it will be more complex.

Remaining tasks

See if the search used to find these issues can be improved. If additional completed @todos are found, add them to the issue summary.

Follow the steps in proposed resolution. Create child issues and complete them, update the table below as they are updated/completed

    It would make a good project for someone who is new to the Drupal contribution process. It's preferred over Newbie.
