545715 - New Hook: bugmail_relationships

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Extensions, enhancement)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Right now we have REL_NAMES and RELATIONSHIPS as two separate constants, but they both contain somewhat-duplicate data. They should be merged, and then we should have a hook to add additional relationships to the set.

Okay, while working on this, I realized that instead of having a hook, we should just store the list in the database, which would make things way simpler for extensions.

When I started to do the "move them to the DB" work, I realized that it was overkill. I don't think that *that* many extensions are going to be adding new relationships. (The main reason that I wanted to move this into the DB was that the valid range of relationship ids is only from -127 to 127, so conflicts between extensions were too likely.)

So we'll just add a hook.

Okay, here we go. This one's a little invasive, so it won't be backported.
