Bug#335462: bugs.debian.org: please add options to handle bug report to bugreport.cgi generated web page

2005-10-23 Thread Marc Haber
Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

After sending a gazillion of messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] yesterday, I
had the idea that things would be much easier if the web page
generated by bugreport.cgi had a form at its bottom that would allow
easy operation on bugs. I'd like to see the following options:

 * set tags (either with checkboxes or a text field)
 * set usertags for user (two text fields)
 * modify severity (drop-down list)
 * retitle (text field)
 * set owner (text field)
 * set blocker (text field)
 * merge (text field)
 * reassign (text field)
 * close (text field for version number)
 * comment (text field to be put in the message body after "thanks")

That form would then fire off a mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] doing
the requested changes. This scheme can even be unauthenticated since
it would not be any worse than e-mail messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Optionally, Accounts could be used to prevent abuse.

Greetings
Marc

Of course, the @control email interface allows you to include an
arbitrarily large number of changes in a single mail, even on
different bugs; this is probably encouraged, such as to reduce the
overhead.

Although I believe you are requesting a feature on each bugs'
individual page, a related request is a www-based bug submission form.
Of course, this doesn't even need to be implemented by b.d.o; I could
do it in a minute on j/p.com .. but it wouldn't have the reporting
power (versions, including depend, kernel, architecture, etc) of
/u/b/reportbug, and wouldn't have the low-level feel of
  $(mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED]) :)
