I don't see any blockers for this (nothing else in any of the repos I'm looking at requires this tag to exist). But I'd like a second set of eyeballs from the SRU team.

The point behind this tag was to provide the Ubuntu SRU Verification team an easy way (with in Launchpad) to find SRU bugs needing verification for every series, rather than needing to use verification-need-$series for multiple series.

Is having this tag in bug reports causing some issues?

Yes, because setting it to verification-done triggers "do not use
verification-done tag message".

This is public facing, and it confuses users to have the extra tag
irrespective of it is of convenience to a very small finate set of Sru team
members.

We also have a small number of active releases we sru for. To search for
those bugs, which are all listed on pending-sru page too.

The message regarding not using the verification-done tag was setup when we were transitioning to per release tags for verification. Given that this transition happened about two years ago perhaps it would be best to just remove the code that posts this message. This way the Ubuntu SRU Verification team (which is different than the SRU team) can still subscribe to the tag "verification-needed" to be notified of bugs needing verification.

Would that work for you?

I've gone ahead and removed the code which posts the message regarding not using verification-done since it made sense anyway.

Cool, we can reject this proposal then.
