707673 - Auto-assign unowned bugs when attaching patches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 663855

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, enhancement)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #663855 +++
(hoping that this has a better chance to get done as a bugzilla.mozilla.org extension)

There's a "take bug" checkbox when creating an attachment -- It would be great if this could be checked automatically (allowing the user to opt out) when the attachment is a patch and the bug is unowned (i.e. assigned to the default assignee).

Also, when attaching a patch right away when filing a bug, the "take bug" checkbox doesn't exist, requiring users to manually fill the assignee field. Ideally the checkbox would exist there as well and behave as described above.

we wouldn't be able to implement this has a bugzilla extension, it'll have to be a customisation of bugzilla, so it may as well be tracked by the upstream bug.
