Hello,

I wrote this in a non-list email earlier today and realised it might be
useful for a wider audience:

I've been working on the Netbook UX parts related to power management
and have realized that we have a QA communication problem in areas that
do not conform to the bugzilla product boundaries. Issues around
suspend/idle/power management are one of those: bugs are filed all over
the bugzilla and I'm fairly sure no-one can keep track of them
currently. This is _not_ the fault of the bug reporters: it's often
impossible to know the correct component and there are at least a dozen
different possible components all over the stack.

This means important bugs fall through cracks as the relevant developers
do not see the bugs. Bug 5794 was a good example: QA found it 2 months
ago and then _nothing_ happened (except for a seemingly arbitrary
decision to not fix it for 1.1‽‽). The required fix was simple enough:
change "moblin" to "meego" in one script...


Question:
Is there a bugzilla best practice that makes sure
<developers-interested-in-power-management> get email notifications of
bugs that reporters or QA think might be related to power management,
regardless of their actual product or component?

The only solution that I could think of was a dummy "pm-bugs" user that
QA CCs on relevant bugs and developers watch. Any better suggestions?

 - Jussi
