        It'd be nice:

        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12286

        Anything that would eliminate those "why haven't you fixed this
yet?" comments, or give people a separate place to fix them, would be
great. We've discussed various options on various bugs, but nothing has
fit the Bugzilla method of working perfectly, and also solved the
problem in an acceptable fashion.

        Depending on how your preferences are set, if you have
JavaScript enabled it should expand when you click in it.

        Type a part of their real name or their full name into the
field, and if the "usermatchmode" parameter is set to "search" (by the
administrator) you will get a list of possible matches after you submit
the bug.

        You can integrate Bugzilla with LDAP for account verification
purposes.

        Instead I'd say they should be generally clickable. I think we
have a bug for that somewhere.

        Only if you're logged in.

        In that case, you've done more with it than I've ever done. :-)

        If you have some positive suggestions for how you'd like to see
the UI work instead of how it works now, we're always interested in a
fresh perspective.
