One way to do this might be to say that as a dev you only accept a
ticket if you're planning to work on it this iteration. So you may have
many tickets assigned to you with status "assigned" you're only
currently working on the ones with status "accepted"

> new -> accepted -> assigned -> in development [-> awaiting merge] -> closed

I think the workflow goes new -> assigned -> accepted (= in development) -> closed

(and we don't have a special status for awaiting merge, afaik we're just
relying on devs to grab other devs in irc, standup, etc. and get them to
review and merge things)

In actual reality the trac ticket workflow looks kind of non-linear:

It still hasn't been upgraded
