In the current Bugzilla, there is no easy way to see all of the comments and bugs you have created. Even the "My Bugs" search only shows bugs that are not dupes, or closed, only open ones. If you create something like Wikipedia, that has an area for every change you do, that would be great.

This would allow people to find older bugs they have commented on, or ones they have created, even when they are closed, or dupes.

This is an interesting idea. I'd accept a patch for something like this if it didn't add any complexity (re-used existing objects and APIs).

Comment 2

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

Thanks for changing the OS, did not notice that.

As for a patch, I am not skilled in programming (being a web developer). As such, if anyone else wants to create the patch, I will be happy with that. I was mainly starting an idea.

So, anyone can contribute to this, that is OpenSource.
Thank you,

oddly, ted was interested in this feature.

somewhere i had half a patch for <anyfield> changedby ... which is technically necessary for anyone who isn't me (or an equivalent).

for the rest of it,

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&emaillongdesc1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=tyler%40christianlink.us

this yields 196 bugs.

my bugmail cache for you lists 254 (some of these will be duplicates as you've filed and commented on bugs which means i get two distinct conversations).

it means that i'm not more than 25% off with a very simple query.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=tyler%40christianlink.us

yields 11 bugs (5 of which are duplicates - for the ones you didn't resolve, i get an extra bugmail with your name in it).

however, perhaps I should note that we're not trying to encourage wikipedia style name grabbing, and the reason i found this bug and the reason ted is interested in this bug is your actions in other bugs didn't garner appreciation.

Looking around, the User Changes report in the kitchen kinda does the same thing.

The user changes area seems to fill this role

that report is a bmo specific customisation, bug 387586 is tracking the upstreaming of it.

note the current report doesn't show when you commented on a bug; that's on my to-do list and will happen prior to upstreaming.
