What status should be assigned to bugs that are fixed after the branch, so that they will be considered for the 0.46 release branch?
If they are marked "fix released" (the usual status for bugs that are fixed in SVN), then there will be no way to search for bugs that have been fixed in SVN, but are not yet in the release branch.
Maybe such bugs could be marked "fix committed", since we don't currently use that status for anything else? Then the 0.46 wranglers can switch them to "fix released" when they make a decision about inclusion in 0.46?
That would be fine; make sure to mention something like, "Port this fix to the release branch" so it's clear it's fixed and needs backported.
Alternately, I've also set up a "0.46.x Series", which allows marking new fixed bugs for porting into the release tree. This can be done via "Nominate for Release".
We can experiment around a bit and see what procedure feels most convenient and effective.
