Regarding #184770: Request leaving "shadows" of reassigned bugs The motivation for the existence and solution of this bug seems clear, and I think its possible to implement it now, in terms of bug blocking.
I propose a new BTS command "shadow" (call it what you like), the syntax of which could be shadow <bugnum> <package> This command could be implemented as a "macro" which does the following: clone <bugnum> -1 reassign -1 <package> block <bugnum> by -1 owner -1 <bugnum>[EMAIL PROTECTED] retitle -1 $subject=~s/^<original_package>:/<package>:/ thanks So, <bugnum> will still appear on the bugs page for the original package, possibly in a separate section "Blocked bugs" (I don't know anything about these new fangled usertags and sorting parameters yet). When the cloned bug is closed, the owner (now <bugnum>[EMAIL PROTECTED]) will get a copy, closing the bug, and causing it to no longer be displayed on the package page. The original submitter will get a close notification, though perhaps they will have to read the log for it to make sense, because of the retitle.. Maybe this scheme could be made more elaborate/sophisticated, but I don't see any reason why this can't work. Commentses? -- Clear skies, Justin PS. Daniel, you might consider updating all of your bugs which have your PSU address, if that address is no longer active (donno if it is). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
