274239 - Add the ability to reject, confirm or warn about comments based on RegExps

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

sample use:
RegExp: /----> (?:System Information|Raw Stack Dump|Stack Back Trace) <----/
Response message: "
Please do not post drwatson logs as comments.
Dr. Watson logs are rarely useful. Please try to crash using talkback and report
the incident id.
if you absolutely must provide a drwatson log, create an attachment.
"
Action: reject

What this means:
Bugzilla would have refused to allow bug 263525 to be filed

It should be possible to select a cominbation of products/components using the
same ui as flags, so i could specify it for __ALL__ products, or just some silly
component list.

i can think of 3 such rules that i'd want to provide
drwatson, crashreporter, strace

timelyx: i'd probably add 'debian' for bugzilla and gecko :)

there should be at least three available actions:
"refuse",
"require confirmation",
"warn",

drwatson/crashreporter would use refuse/reject
debian would be require confirmation

one other one, which is definitely going to need to control how this is implemented.

I should be able to specify a regexp along with a criteria on another field. in this case:

Warn("Please fill in the url field")
 if bug_is_being_filed
  && bug_url =~ m%^(?:\s*|https?://)$%
  && bug_comment =~ m%https?://\w%;

Unfortunately, this last one basically indicates that we need to create a bug object and provide a hook that has the ability to trigger refuse/confirm/warn or do nothing.
