1481106 - Start logging bug_user_last_visit for all visited bugs even if the user is not involved

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: API, task)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Currently we are logging bug_user_last_visit only on bugs the user is involved in some way (reporter, assignee, QA contact, mentor or CC.) But since we have the Component Watching extension, there might be many cases people watching bugs without adding themselves to the CC list.

The API use cases:

* It has already been used to show “new changes/comments since” indicator, and it seems people like it. (Bug 1469023)

* Also, an enhanced quick search bar under development will show recently visited bugs for easier access. (Bug 1472565)

Basically people don’t care about whether they are CCed in a particular bug or not. A visit is a visit. The unavailability of those features due to their uninvolvement is against user’s expectations. So I’d like to get rid of the limitation and start logging on any bugs they have visited.

dylan: any concerns?

I’d like to move this forward given several use cases mentioned in my Comment 0, Bug 1472450 and Bug 1531517.
