This is my highest priority task right now.
I skimmed the "new bug page" (with the advanced fields shown) for TestProduct -- from a cursory look, it's fine. Other than that, why is "Feature Requests" a separate product from "EDK2 - Main Trunk"? Same for "UEFI Security Issues". I think feature requests and security issues should not be separate products. They should be orthogonal to any product. In the RH Bugzilla at least, these "traits" are represented by Keywords. Regarding the "EDK2 - Main Trunk" product, I see three components, Code, Documentation, and Test. I think "component" should correspond to any entity in the edk2 tree that has a well defined set of maintainers -- currently, top level Pkg directories. When a feature or bugfix affects several components, then the original bug is cloned for the other component(s) -- see the "Clone This Bug" link -- and then the bug dependencies are adjusted as necessary. (In the GitHub issue tracker, we have "labels" for the top Pkg directories, plus a few orthogonal labels (e.g. Feature, Udk-xxxx, UdkOnly).) Hm... I'm just noticing the custom Package box. When I hover over it, it says "A custom Multiple-Selection Box field in this installation of Bugzilla". I think I understand the idea, but it might mix well with searching. The Advanced Search page allows filtering for Package only in the Custom Search section, which I find a bit unwieldy. Also, the multi-selection is not flexible enough to express dependencies between packages (BZ cloning is). On the positive side, the Package box is available on the Enter Bug page as well, after showing the Advanced Fields. ... Just trying to apply my experience with the RH bugzilla; it may not be a perfect fit, of course. If we end up with something different here, I'll be happy to learn it. :) I'm not suggesting that the above remarks be addressed ASAP, "or else". :) I think the fields can be tweaked (the database can be converted) later on as well; I wouldn't like to cause any delays.
