1478901 - Make user autocompletes smarter

Status: NEW

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Bug Creation/Editing, enhancement)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino]

I’m not talking about AI, but we can think a bit more and do better with the API. For example,

* If someone is blocking requests, they shouldn’t be added in the review/feedback/needinfo field. (Bug 1477931)

* If someone is already in the CC/review/feedback/needinfo/etc. field, they shouldn’t appear as a suggestion. BzDeck handled this properly.

* Reviewer suggestions should be displayed in the dropdown list, just like GitHub issues.

* Needinfo suggestions should be displayed based on the bug’s comment history, assignee, and CC list.

The assignee suggestions should do the same thing, as suggested by nchevobbe.

(not sure I'm posting in the right bug)

Hey, I'm seeing redesigned autocomplete which is great! I was a bit surprised at first though by these nameless email address though.
I guess it's when people did not filled in some information, but with the left padding it has, it could fill one person has multiple email address.
Could we either have a Unknown name here (or something better, like anything before the @ of the email address) ?

Attachment: Fixed autocomplete

Yes, it’s a known issue handled in Bug 1477931, and I’ve already sent a PR to fix it 💦

• There are supposed to be their Gravatar and request status, but it’s missing due to a code conflict.
• The extra space was my fault. Forgot to test with users without their real name. This kind of issue can be avoided in the future as I’ve got a snapshot of the production DB for testing.
