DESCRIPTION
For now, the bug page title contains only the bug number and the bug summary
string.
And exactly this string appears in the search engine results, helping to
understand what this bug is about, without opening the page.
But usually, the bug summary makes no sense without the product name, right?
As an example, let's take this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519791
The page title is: 519791 - Crash when closing
What product does it relate to? Mystery, that can be resolved only after
opening the page and searching for detail manually...
Therefore, many bug reporters use a workaround to add the product name to the
bug summary manually (using different free-form formats - brackets, prefix,
suffix, etc). But putting the product name manually in the bug summary string
is meaningless for the product owners, it just duplicates the relation that is
already in place in the "product" field.
So, let's fix this issue and add, at least, the product name to the page title
of all bug pages. Also, would be great to expose other meaningful bug
properties like component name, version, etc.
One more significant benefit of this change is that the page title have the
highest weight when search engines index the pages, so this small change will
make all the bug reports more relevant to the user requests, and improve the
visibility of the pages in search engines.
So, my suggestion is to use a template for the bug page title like this:
```
{product}: {summary} - {bug_id} (component: {component}, version {version} on
{platform}, {os})
```
I put the bug_id not in the first place intentionally, because the bug id is
usually meaningless for the users, but still needed to search the bugs by the
bug id number.
Also, would be great to add the <h1> tag to the page with the product name and
the bug summary string, that will make the pages even more relevant and
searchable!
