Allow flagging erxtra important issues, to fast track completion

Created on 26 July 2025, 8 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Sometimes, you are involved with, or see an issue, and feel it is more important than many of the other issues. Maybe you wish there was a way to highlight such an issue, to fast track its completion?

Also as a user, you may sometimes like to know which issues another user would like to get solved first.

Steps to reproduce

  • See that there are a lot of issues in Drupal core and contrib modules, and not sure which one to pick.
  • Have an urgent issue, and would like to highlight it, to get it solved faster.

Proposed resolution

My proposal is to allow registered users to flag a maximum of three issues as an "Important issue". (or "Prioritized"?)

Section on user page

These issues could be listed in a block on the profile page of the user, so that other users from the community who visit the profile page are made aware of them, and should feel free to engage in solving them:

ressa's important issues

Section on issue page

Also, the issue itself could get a new section:

Important issue

These users have marked this issue as important:
@ressa, @my_user_name, etc.

Boost flagged issues in search results

Issues flagged by many with "Important issue" could get a boost in search results.

Dedicated page of "Important issues"

There could be an "Important issue" page, listing all issues, sorted by number of flaggings descending.
