Running make fixme todo will print a nice list of TODO/FIXME-comments from source files. These should be moved to proper issues so that they can be 1) tracked and 2) people actually know about them 😆

There are more instances of these comments throughout the code, and those should be moved as well.

Thoughts?

@strk commented on GitHub (Nov 4, 2016):

The existence of fixme and todo rules clearly makes those code comments NOT useless :)
If the issues creation/deletion can be automated then go for it, otherwise there's a risk of code and issues going out of sync.

I'd love for issues to be closer to code ..

Closing since we aren't going to remove these code comments

As an alternative to creating issues for each one there is this service which lists all TODO/fixme type comments for reference:

https://www.tickgit.com/browse?repo=github.com/go-gitea/gitea

And also provides a link to open an issue from any particular comment
