260538 - allow developers/admins to make a complexity assement regarding the fixing/implemenation of a bug or feature request

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Michael]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)
Build Identifier: 

allow developers/admins - those who are reviewing a report, to assess the 
complexity of a bug/request - possibly using the amount of hours that it might 
take to make a corresponding change, in order for bugZilla to be able to 
categorize requests by the amount of time it would take to address them. 
 
That way, I -as a developer- could have BugZilla filter all those feature 
requests that were voted for by (a definable amount of) users and additionally 
apply a filter using the relevance of a bug/feature request as well as the 
complexity that was assessed by the original reviewer(s). 
 
In order for it to be representative, all developers/admins should be able to 
add such a rating, hence bugZilla could determine the average result. 
 
This would ultimately enable developers to simply look for a bug/feature that 
is supposed to be addressed, specifically looking for those things that don't 
exceed a certain time limit. 
 
So, if I know I have got only 2 hours spare time one day, I can simply pick 
something that's estimated to take not much longer.

Bugzilla already does this.  That's exactly what the (optional) time tracking
fields are for.
