I'm not much of a Python programmer, but trying.

Can't this just be a button in the Bugzlla user account editing UI?
Comment 3 Lucas Forschler 2019-05-03 09:48:28 PDT
It could possible be a Bugzilla extension.

It can if someone else writes the Perl code to do that. But that would be per account, and not in bulk like the tool supports.

I personally wouldn't be using such a button, as getting all the way to the user edit page is more effort than pasting a list of e-mails into command line.

My thought exactly.

Committed revision 244943.
Comment 7 Alexey Proskuryakov 2019-05-03 18:37:39 PDT
To be fair, there are potential benefits to a server side implementation:

- Can use it from devices that don't have command line.

- Can be restricted to a custom group, so we could make more people spam fighters.
