Perhaps I've misunderstood what the GitHub issues for requirements are about. So far I've thought that they are to discuss the requirements, find appropriate wording etc. and then get them into the UCR document. Then we use the UCR document as the baseline to see if we have addressed all our requirements.

Do I understand correctly that you take the view that we keep the agreed-on requirements as open GitHub issues until the requirement has been addressed in all deliverables the requirement refers to?

No, but I think we're getting closer!
