asterisk users - Dec 2018 - Need for more hangup reasons in ARI?

Hi,

while implementing an application based on ARI, I wanted to hangup
calls in different states with different hangup reasons. After not
finding anything in the documentation I found the possible reasons in
the
sources:(https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/4ca709768db9bafdfa83ee1cfc6cc0639f097857/res/ari/resource_channels.c#L866)

I think, there are some important reasons missing. For example I want
to return a 408 if the callee doesn't answer after some time. I guess,
I could submit a patch for more hangup reasons, but before doing so,
is there a reason that there are only those five hangup reasons?

Regards,
Sebastian

Nope. No specific reason. The ones there are what most people would use, and
what those not as familiar with telephony would understand.

Thanks for the quick response. I have submitted a patch for adding
more hangup reasons.

BTW: Is there a way to have them documented on the Wiki page instead
of having to dig into the source code? I'd be happy to help.
