/spend markup but no total ?

Problem to solve

I can't bill my client for time spent by my devs on his project.

Why have a /spend markup but no total spend ?

Only /estimate shown in issues. I don't believe I'm the first person to notice this omission.

Intended users

All users but especially dev's and managers.

User experience goal

User should be able to see total amount of dev time spent on projects.

Proposal

Simply parse all to-do's and issues for '/spend' strings and then split the number from the string. Then add up all hrs, mins, secs etc... for a total.

Display total on issues page or even better - analytics page ...

Further details

Permissions and Security

Presumably any dev that works on the project should be able to see the /spend and /estimate total. Ditto managers etc..

Documentation

I personally found the documentation on Time Tracking to either be old or misleading. The docs didn't match the interface.

Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
