  means you could safely start writing a patch for it. This is generally more

  true for the case of accepted bugs than accepted features. A ticket for a bug

  that has been accepted means that the issue has been verified by at least one

  triager as a legitimate bug - and should probably be fixed if possible. An

  accepted new feature may only mean that one triager thought the feature would

  with any certainty that a patch will be accepted for that feature. Seek more

  feedback before writing an extensive patch if you are in doubt.
