Hi Rob,

Currently, when you enter a new bug you are given an alphabetical list
of "products", starting with:
aa: Afar Language Project: Work in and on the Afar language
af: Afrikaans Language Project--Support, discussions, development of
Afrikaans localization in Afrikaans
am: Discussions and work in Amharic
api: This is the application programming interface.
ar: Arabic native language discussions and material in the native language
ast: Asturian Language Project: Work in Asturian
az: Azeri native language discussions and material in the native language
bal: Balochi Language Project: work on Balochi in Balochi
bg: Bulgarian language information, resources, discussions,
documentation, localization.
and so on.
See: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi
A flat list of 200+ categories like this, with no structure, and with
many of the items being rather obscure, makes the UI very hard to use.
Would it be possible to bring all the locale-related categories together, e.g.:
lang-aa
lang-af
lang-am
lang-ar
lang-ast
lang-az
lang-bg
and so on? That way these locale-related issues would be grouped in a
sort would be easier to find (or ignore) by someone entering a new
bug.
Or failing that, is there any way to make these be hierarchical?
From HTML you can group the entries using an <optgroup> element, see
the 'Product:' list in attached file (without style). But I have no
knowledge about Bugzilla.
I would prefer to have one item 'native language' in 'Product' and the
language itself in 'Component'. The same for all entries, which are not
for users, one item 'delveloper' or 'contributer' and the specific topic
in 'Component'.
Kind regards
Regina
