235720 - XML bugmail

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, enhancement)

Description

[Jouni Heikniemi]

A user should be able to get bugmail in xml format. This would be massively
useful for applications such as bzbot and so on. It should be fairly
straightforward after email templatization (bug 84876) lands.

Kick all my Bugzilla bugs back to the component default owner.

Putting this bug in our radar for 2.24. Parsing XML emails would be much easier than the actual plain text format. A must for Bugzilla 2.24/3.0. :)

  Only a must if somebody decides to work on it, though. There's pretty much no chance that I'll be working on it for 2.24/3.0.

I suspect I might look at this...

Comment 5

This bug is retargetted to Bugzilla 3.2 for one of the following reasons:

- it has no assignee (except the default one)
- we don't expect someone to fix it in the next two weeks (i.e. before we freeze the trunk to prepare Bugzilla 3.0 RC1)
- it's not a blocker

If you are working on this bug and you think you will be able to submit a patch in the next two weeks, retarget this bug to 3.0.

If this bug is something you would like to see implemented in 3.0 but you are not a developer or you don't think you will be able to fix this bug yourself in the next two weeks, please *do not* retarget this bug.

If you think this bug should absolutely be fixed before we release 3.0, either ask on IRC or use the "blocking3.0 flag".

Untargeting this bug until it's actually taken by somebody.

This is too specific of a use case; if it's really needed, it could be done via APIs or as an extension.
