--- Comment #10 from Andre Klapper <[email protected]> ---
In the meantime, I've set up email address regexes to let at least WMF/WMDE
users automatically receive sufficient permissions. I'd love to extend this but
doing this automatically requires email addresses as a criterion.

The big majority of users can. Those users without "editbugs" permissions can
ask and receive them (though we do not document how - that's something to
change), or ask many other people to change some restricted fields in a bug
report on behalf of them.
This is inconvenient but does not "block development work" in general.


Summary: I don't see a good way out of this situation.
Giving editbugs to everybody did not work out in the past, giving it
automatically to a subset of users via an email address regex cannot be applied
here, giving it manually to a subset of users likely won't scale (though we
should challenge the word "likely" here), and we currently cannot access user
activity data from other infrastructure tools (e.g. "user has a Labs/Gerrit
account so we trust in Bugzilla too").
