I guess the bug summary is a little misleading (I'll change it now). I tried to present the problem and then I proposed a possible solution (keywords). There may be better solutions to making it possible to index bugs by wiki family. The reason for me requesting this change is to be able to get a (rough) metric for resource allocation. Combined with a few other metrics (such as other keywords and bug status/resolution), it'll provide a better picture of which projects really need love, which are getting too much love, etc. Bug reports aren't the best data point, but I think if this data is populated, it will be useful. If others disagree, please say so. :-) Another idea I had was to do this outside of Bugzilla, but without database replication of Bugzilla's database, I don't really have time to learn how to deal with Bugzilla's API. This means that unless I can find an easy way to implement this feature (indexing by wiki family), it won't get done. I think there's a lot of benefit in keeping the data in Bugzilla, particularly as Bugzilla has features (such as tracking bugs and keywords) that make indexing by wiki family not painful to implement. The only painful part will be doing the actual tagging/adding dependencies/whatever. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
