Maintain issue work-flow
- When a subscriber posts an item, it'll start its flow with status 'chatting' or 'open' in the SF tracker
- Once addressed, the developer working on it will re-assign the issue to the submitter and change its status to 'testing', or 'pending' at SF
- This is the submitter's signal, per email, to re-test the issue. If it persists, comment and re-assign it with status 'testing' to the developer
- If resolved, please change it status to 'resolved' and experience a few
moments of feel good
