[cross-project-issues-dev] Restricting bugzilla issues creation/edition?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm brainstorming about how to have a complete the migration to GitHub for some projects (eg m2e, Tycho...). Currently, the main pain point would be the bug tracker: the backlog on Bugzilla is huge and migrating it to GitHub wouldn't be very relevant, but this backlog needs to remain accessible.

One approach would be to make the BZ tracker progressively "read-only", or at least to prevent from creating new issues.

For a given product, is it possible to prevent creation of new issues? Is it possible to block creation of issues while keeping edition access on existing issues? Is it possible to make the product issues "read-only" (no creation, no edition)?

My favorite one at the moment would be to block creation of new issues but still allow edition.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
