Purple Squad, and rocket-scientists, We are going to let users hide and unhide their own comments. This will reduce the need for users to make bugs private (user data).
William was concerned at my suggestion to treat these comments as user-data. That would permit users that the project shares user-data with to see these comments. We have not verified that comments were hidden from the project contributors to avoid the disclosure of proprietary information. I have just read *every* hidden comment on a bug that affects a project. (Gods pity me). There were exactly 4 proprietary/security comments, 3 on Launchpad, 1 on canonical-payment-service. In all cases the maintainer can still see the comments. We are not hiding information from maintainers. We will let the people the project shares user data with see, hide, and unhide comments as they need. This will reduce our maintenance burden dealing with spam. Since Ubuntu will not let humans see user-data, we, as Registry Administrators, will need to hide spam/abusive comments on Ubuntu. -- Curtis Hovey http://launchpad.net/~sinzui
