It's hard to know how big a problem this is because the filesize limit on bugzilla is absolute, and there's no integrated documentation telling people to upload large files elsewhere...so some number of people undoubtedly give up. > I honestly rather assume the first to be the case, given that there are 6000 > files on the wiki and skimming the biggest files(*) shows some (maybe 10?) > testcases uploaded there, but most of the big files are actually other stuff > (e.g. talkyoo mp3).

I can't recall if the logs indicated that anyone else used the wiki for this purpose, if documentation was made available, etc. I do remember a couple of instances in which we couldn't upload files to Bugzilla due to size, and I have talked to users or seen comments in bug reports "File too big to upload to bugzilla" so this isn't just a theoretical problem anymore.

I would suggest we have some kind of fallback plan, even if it's "File too big to upload? Please see if you can shrink it in size or compress it before upload. If all else fails, please email us at <bugzilla-attachment-assista...@bugs.libreoffice.org>". There will always be corner cases, and it might be worth our time to keep an eye on them.

We are ready on our side to make the migration: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal Cloph passed along word from Tollef that he "hopes to get the first half done til the weekend," but also mentioned that [Tollef] is extremely busy and the migration is still in the planning phase. I'd suggest that we add the "File too big to upload?" message to FDO right now, were it not for the fact that such a request would take more time away from Tollef. Sooooo...I don't have a great answer. I guess I'd say "punt" and hope that we get some traction on migration this month.
