Can you say more? Are you
thinking of
replacing bugzilla? Or just customizing its UI? ... and possibly
fields?
I don't know.
All I know is that some (many?) people fing Bugzilla to be "old and
uncool" and I often fear that reflects onto Eclipse and the
community itself. This trend in the software industry to always be
using the latest gizmo is quite powerful.
I'm not keen on replacing things that Just Work, so it would be
great if we could contribute some significant UI improvements back
to Bugzilla. Personally I don't have a problem with Bugzilla.
I ask because if we are keeping
or customizing
bugzilla, maybe some work could be done on the different
"resolution"
fields ... if not literally the values that can be used,
perhaps at least update the
standard
"bugzilla help" such as at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status
I'm pretty sure Dani has been nagging me in a bug about that for
years :)
