Re: [PROPOSAL] "difficulty" field for Bugzilla

Hi Rob, that's a cool idea. +1 but I would use the word complexity instead of difficulty. Usually the issue tracker database is customer driven (severity) but a helper field to sort bugs by complexity will help developers to focus on more complex issues. If there are no objections, I'll add
