The arrangement which I made with Joshua over spelling errors in column names which were used in the MARC frameworks was that I would correct spelling errors in the frameworks and he would ensure that the spelling errors were corrected in the rest of the code.
The issue is that having the discrepancy breaks the functionality of editing the items withdrawn status field.
Fixing the spelling errors throughout the code should require only a simple script. Leaving spelling errors is only likely to promote future errors in coding as uncorrected spelling errors accumulate. Eventually, a special dictionary of Koha would be required if errors go uncorrected.
I would be more than happy to submit a patch to change 'wthdrawn' to 'withdrawn' once and for all. However, even as mechanical a change as that requires testing to ensure that no functionality is broken and that there are no instances in the code where a column name is being constructed in an unusual fashion. My question is this: do we do such a change now in 3.0 pre-beta, or push it to the next unstable version (i.e., 3.1/3.2)?
