[Pulp-dev] redmine process for katello-integration-related issues

pulpcore is not the only project with milestones. Each project has its own
set of milestones to represent different versions. The issue is your
proposal is trying to assign all Katello-PX issues to a pulpcore milestone.
That won't work if you have say a pulp_container or pulp_ansible issue with
a Katello-PX tag.

You could go through all the Katello-PX issues and try to figure out which
milestone in which project to assign it to but with so many milestones and
projects, it's going to be a huge pain. My suggestion was to just worry
about the open issues and not try to retroactively assign these issues to
milestones.
