Short answer: See http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/ForMaintainers for directions (that page is also linked from the browse.cgi summary of any product, fwiw). Long answer about the permissions: The 'editcomponents' privilege in bugzilla used to be a big mess. Adding new versions/milestones/components for every product was too much work for the bugmasters, but we didn't want to give it out to everyone (it also meant people could modify other peoples' products and create/destroy them as well). So, we fixed the mess (in GNOME bugzilla; it's not yet upstream) by making editcomponents means that the individual could create/delete/modify versions/milestones/components of the modules which they are marked as developer of, and then gave editcomponents out to everyone marked as a developer automatically. New products is a rare enough event that the bugmasters can handle that (well, should be able to, we're a bit behind right now; I need to find another sucker to volunteer to handle it). So, your permissions bits in bugzilla haven't actually changed; just their definition has. ;-) _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
