Description of why you need the copy:
We work on the Software Testing, Debugging, Software Behavior Analysis. We need the data to conduct an experiment on bug report classification to propose a automatic method with higher classification precision. Furthermore, we are planing to discover the bug from the prospective of program analysis, which combines the source code analysis and the bug report statement information. There are some other very specific ideas that I'm interested in. We think we can use the data to imporve the effectiveness and performance of software testing, making a contribution to software engineering tasks. 

The academic institution you are associated with along with any course related information:

Hello, Mr. Feng - 

My name is Mike Hoye, and I'm the Engineering Community Manager for Mozilla. 

Thank you for your interest; I think that I can make the data you've requested available by the end of the month. Unfortunately it will take some time to sanitize the data, so I cannot promise it sooner than that.

I'll update this bug with additional information as soon as it's available. Thanks for your  interest, and I'm looking forward to reading your results.

Hello!

I have good news: a sanitized MySQL dump of the Bugzilla database is available here:

http://people.mozilla.org/~mhoye/bugzilla/

This is a MySQL dump of the contents of Bugzilla, as of January 2nd of this year. The above link goes to temporary hosting until a permanent solution can be put in place. Though the contents of this data set have been sanitized, with HR, legal and open security issues removed (~6.3% of the total), this dataset is otherwise Bugzilla's entire contents, minus attachments.

I will update this bug with the relevant information once permanent hosting is found.

Thanks,

- mhoye

No permanent hosting found yet, but I'll redirect the people URL rather than updating lots of individual bugs. Closing resolved.
