1704826 - moz-phab should offer to create bugs if an existing bug hasn't been provided

Status: NEW

(Conduit :: moz-phab, enhancement, P3)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

I frequently use --no-bug because I've gone and fixed a small bug I've just found, that hasn't been filed yet. In these cases, it would be very convenient for moz-phab to file the bug for me, and update my commit message to include it, rather than complaining that there's no bug id.

We can parse the moz.build files in the impacted paths to determine the list of Bugzilla components to suggest.

We'd also have to either require users provide a Bugzilla api-key, or generate a URL that pre-populates an enter_bug form from the query string.

Phabricator (the server) can already write to bugzilla. Is it possible to have the server do the bug creation instead?

Phabricator doesn't update Bugzilla directly; instead Bugzilla listens to a stream of events from Phabricator and updates itself.
