461208 - Product-level initial Cc list

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task)

Description

[Rob Siklos [:robzilla]]

Currently admins can set up default Cc lists for components, but I think it also makes sense for this functionality to be defined at the product level.

Here's the use case:

We have a new product FooWidget, which Kermit is managing.  As such, Kermit wants to be on the initial Cc list for any issues entered against the FooWidget product (but not for other products).  Initially, there are only a few components, but since Fozzy and Gonzo also have editcomponents rights, they are allowed to add new components, which they will likely do.  The case arises where Fozzy adds a new component, but forgets to put Kermit on the initial Cc list, and as a result, there are issues which Kermit isn't aware of.  It would be good if Kermit could put himself (or have an admin put him) on the initial Cc list for any issue in FooWidget, regardless of the component.

I don't know if this is completely covered by bug 278455, since there may be certain bugs you decide you don't care about anymore, so you can always remove yourself from the Cc list.  However, I'm not sure if this will be possible with "watching"

bugzilla.altlinux.org had implemented it: any user is able to subscribe himself to any bug matching basic criteria, including product/component:
