Details
<background>b.m.o uses Bugzilla for project management tracking as well as bug tracking. Keywords do not have the necessary relationships to be conveniently used for many project management issues. In b.m.o, keyword traids (keyword,keyword+ and keyword-) are used in a nomination, approval and rejections scheme. After a bug has been approved in the first nomination round it becomes a nomination in the second round. There might be 2 rounds, 3 rounds and in some cases 4 rounds of nomination and approval. Bugzilla should be able to recognize the relationships between the different levels and expose a new showkeywordtree.cgi page like the dependency tree view (showdependencytree.cgi) which shows these different hierarchy levels. The b.m.o. idea here is that each bugzilla user could nominate that a bug be fixed for a particular release and each developer could have a list of bugs he wanted the OK to be working on (his own nomination plus the approval of user nominations) and each engineering manager could have a list of bugs that he wanted the OK for his developers to be working on (his own nominations plus the approval of the developer nominations) and each project manager could have a list of bugs that he wanted senior management or marketing to approve resources for (his own nominations plus the approval of development management nominations) and the entire pyramid should be represented in a view like a dependency tree. I personally favor using tracking bugs for this kind of tracking because it pretty much works as is, but I understand that other Bugzilla consumers might want to do this with keywords.</background> Description of minimal request: Bugzilla needs administrator UI to enter relationships between keywords. The relationships can be as simple as "<keyword 1> is subordinate to <keyword 2>" (note: <keyword 1> is not a prerequesit of <keyword 2>). showbug.cgi should have a "show keyword tree" link to a page where this relationship could be displayed. This tree view would show the hierarchy below and above like dependencies shows blocked by and blocking.

oops, is this a duplicate of bug 12992? I don't quite see the detail there but it sounds like the same idea.

No that is about generating a dependency tree for each member of a bug list. I have always meant to file this and thought I did, but apparently haven't. I'm not sure "tree" is necessarily applicable all the time. Often you want "subkeywords" but sometimes might want mutual exclusivity instead. So I suggest something like this. Ability to set up mutually exclusive keywords. Some policy about whether keywords automatically drop off or whether an error occurs. Ability to set up subkeywords. Some policy about whether an error occurs, the subkeyword automatically gets removed when its super is added, or removed instead since its implied. Hmm, I remember typing this before somewhere in here ...

Reassigning all of my "future" targetted bugs to indicate that I'm not presently working on them, and someone else could feel free to work on them.
