233005 - Improve bug group identification within post_bug.cgi / make importxml.pl official

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285614

(Bugzilla :: Bug Import/Export & Moving, enhancement)

Description

[eric gorr]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

When entering a new bug into bugzilla configured to use product bug groups, one
sees:

  Only users in all of the selected groups can view this bug:
  (Leave all boxes unchecked to make this a public bug.)
     [x] Access to bugs in the [product name] product

Whether or not this box has been checked gets passed into post_bug.cgi via a
'bit-[xxx]=1' parameter, where [xxx] is the ID of the group the bug will be
placed in. 

This does not work well with bug import code, such as bug-bugzilla (see the
contrib directory), as it is, at best, difficult to determine from the script
what the group id of the various groups are. Currently, bug-bugzilla is only
capable of importing a bug that is not apart of any bug group.

I am uncertain as to the best way to make the change to post_bug.cgi.

Of course, the other option would be to make importxml.pl the official way to
import bugs into bugzilla and fully document its usage. importxml.pl would seem
to accept the names (as opposed to the id) of the bug groups into which the bug
should be included.

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.
