Go for it if you fancy fixing the redirecting code:D However, fixing that doesn't remove the duplication we have on what the default list status should be - plus I just found somewhere else where the proposal type is hardcoded as the default, so now we have it in the following places:
- the template line above
- the redirect code
- the views.py class DecisionList.set_status (kwargs.get('status', Decision.PROPOSAL_STATUS))
IMO, we should define what the default status should be in only one place in the system, and refer to that one place from the 3 places listed above.
