--- Comment #20 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
This enhancement request is really messy, which is surprising considering that
we have all the Bugzilla experts here.  ;)

We are talking about different things:

1. Publishing Bugzilla data in MediaWiki pages.

Indeed a useful feature for any project using Bugzilla and MediaWiki e.g. us.

At least Andre and me used
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bugzilla_Reports years ago in another
project. That was with MW 1.15 or so. 

Mozilla developed
https://github.com/LegNeato/mediawiki-bugzilla#mediawiki-extension-for-bugzilla
and is using it in MW 1.19.4 although it says it has open bugs.

I think it's worth to complete and if one or two of you would volunteer as
mentors I will push it to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013#Project_ideas to see if a
qualified student is interested.


2. Reporting a bug to Bugzilla from a MediaWiki page.

The argument is that Bugzilla scares users. If that is true we should try first
a nice Bugzilla guided UI for filing bugs ---> Bug 36762 

Andre says it takes work, but I guess less work than developing an extension
that anyway should guide MediaWiki users to help them understand what are they
doing. Otherwise be prepared to DUPE / Article Feedback / Twitter / Facebook
style messages flooding Bugzilla.


3. Commenting on existing bug reports from a MediaWiki page.

For this you need 1 and 2 in the first place. 

However, once the user is at this point, I wonder how less scary is to see this
page here with 20 comments or the equivalent exported to a Wiki page. And how
less scary would be to find a textarea with a "Save changes" vs "Comment"
button at the end. If this is a concern then we can simply work on a good
custom CSS/skin for our Bugzilla, instead of creating a new MW extension. 


4. Unified login between MediaWiki and Bugzilla.

Discussion should go ---> Bug 14487

5. Hiding email addresses.

Discussion should go ---> Bug 148
