People have suggested that we make this mandatory, rather than optional. Another suggestion is to have the gate do it automatically -- I can do this pretty trivially, if people feel it would be useful (in whatever context -- inside or outside Sun). > The fixed, committed and integrated fields get updated only when the > build closes.

I believe that it would be more accurate to use the presence of a responsible engineer to know whether it's being worked on (because what you *really* want to know, I think, is that a bug is being worked on, not that it's finished). Of course, the RE field may not be available outside. If not, perhaps the presence of a value there could be indicated. Regardless, I'm happy to make the change I mentioned above. Danek
