@neutrinoceros so we talked about doing subissues for some of the details in these top-level issues, but I don't seem to be able to add subissues. I added this Time issue first and only after realized that (a) it really needs subissues for all its requirements, and (b) I can't add subissues. Do you want me to only add detailed (more precise) issues, or can I create top-level issues for targeting functionality and then later add sub-issues once it is clearer that refined requiements are possible? Based on my list, this varies from completely clear (subissues) to less clear delineations. Thanks.

Maybe only maintainer with write access can. If you comment more on what subissue where, I might be able to help. Thanks!
