1722059 - Bugs filed under partner-confidential auto cc certain users. The default user is no longer with Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, enhancement)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

Way back we create the partner-confidential and partner-confidential-visible groups to allow b2g partners to file private bugs only visible to the reporter, assignee, qa contact and members of the cc list. And [e-mail] was auto-cc'ed on these new bugs so he could triage them. He is no longer with the company and I am not sure we even need the partner-* group support any longer.

Should we: 1) Find someone else to replace mbest as the default auto-cc or 2) remove the partner-* group support altogether?

More information:

• partner-confidential-visible is only available to mozilla employees currently.
• there are no open bugs with partner-confidential set currently
• we could eventually just remove the code and leave the group in place so that we do not accidentally open a bug that needs to remain private

partner-confidential is still valuable and shouldn't be deleted.
A recent example of it being used is the MSIX packaging work (bug 1708830 and related bugs).

As the group is for generic partnership it's hard to find a specific person who could fix bugs that are accidentally placed in that group. But clearly mbest needs to be replaced.

Let's replace him with me; I'll triage bugs and either remove my CC or fix the groups. Please add a comment to the relevant part of Data.pm explaining why this exists.

All of those dependent bugs I had to manually go in and remove partner-confidential group so not sure if all were not place in the group initially as an error.
