Description Dean Jackson 2011-12-16 12:30:58 PST
Bugzilla autocomplete's on Contributers, Reviewers and Committers, but not Accounts. Add this to the bottom of the autocomplete list.

Seems like this will make things worse for someone trying to CC David Levin, e.g. Maybe there's a better solution to getting WebKit Bug Importer into autocomplete?

It should add David's +whatever accounts to the end of the autocomplete list, so only slightly worse. I checked with him on IRC and he's ok (of course, he's probably not going to autocomplete to himself too often).

In hindsight, Contributor was a very bad name. The only use for those entries is autocomplete, but because of the name we both got a lot of people added who needn't be there add themselves, and then also got another kind of entry for Accounts.

My proposal would be to merge Contributor and Account lists under Autocomplete. At he same time, I suggest removing people who aren't CC'ed on a significant number of bugs from the autocomplete list.
Comment 5 Alexey Proskuryakov 2011-12-16 15:00:36 PST
By the way, I'd be quite unhappy if CC'ing Dave Levin became more difficult for me. Probably more so than himself! :-)

Oh I see. Just passed by this early toda.

Why not just use Contributor? 

imo Contributor = accounts that aren't committers who people might want to reference

account = more bugzilla accounts that scripts might want to know about. (To my memory we added it for cc-bugs which we didn't want to get in the autocomplete list but we did want to know about to know that it was valid in the watch list.)


So with this in might, I'd add "WebKit Bug Importer" to Contributor (if you want to be able to cc it) and we should think of a better name for Contributor.

OK. I'll to the former, but I won't touch the latter right now. If someone wants to take on finding a better name and updating all the places we use it, then I encourage them :)

So with this in mind....
