            Bug ID: 413346
           Summary: Users have no way to flag issues affecting them
           Product: bugs.kde.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: sysad...@kde.org
          Reporter: chea...@gmail.com
                CC: she...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Using KDE means dealing with lots of issues. Over the years, I've flagged 95
issues which must have affected me at the time I voted for them, by casting a
vote for them. It is often useful for a user to see a list of issues affecting
him, in order to compare products, to determine if a product can be
recommended, or just to find a ticket when he remembers having seen an issue
reported before.

Unfortunately, bugs.kde.org does not really allow that. Voting can somewhat
play that role, but:
1. All products only allow a limited number of votes, so a user cannot flag as
many issues as needed.
2. Voting has a meaning and should not be used only for the purpose of flagging
an issue.
3. Some products do not even allow voting.

Please provide a way for users to flag any ticket affecting them, and a page
listing such flagged tickets. The page could be named "Issues affecting me".
"My Bugs" should probably be renamed "Issues I reported" to avoid confusion.

One extra benefit of such an addition is to allow reporting how many users are
affected by an issue and who they are. However, privacy must be considered here
- perhaps users should be given the choice to publish the issues affecting them
or not.
