9846 - report option to list bugs sorted by reporter (patch enclosed)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Reporting/Charting, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Peter Maydell]

We use Bugzilla as an internal bug tracking system for our own software, and I
thought it would be useful to be able to sort bugs by reporter, so you could see
who'd been most prolific in reporting bugs. Admittedly this is probably most
useful when the people submitting bug reports are a fairly small group, but I
thought I'd submit the patch anyway, just in case anybody else was interested...

The patch is to Bugzilla's reports.cgi script -- there doesn't seem to be any
version information in the file so I can't quote a version number that the patch
is against...

[NB: the emacs mode line at the top doesn't match the indentation style actually
used in the script: specifically, it has hard tabs in the file but
indent-tabs-mode is set to nil in the mode line...]

What the patch provides:
 * an extra option in the Query Kitchen ("Bug counts by reporter")
 * a page almost exactly like the existing bug counts page, but classifying bugs
by reporter.

hope this helps :->

Wow, this is an ancient one. Adding patch keyword. Doesn't see too complicated,
though.

Comment 4

[Stephan Niemz]

Wow, a bug with a one and a half year old patch attached.  Nominating for 2.16.
(Or should it be 2.12?)

This is going to be done as part of generic reporting.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

The new reporting architecture is now in place, and sorting is explicitly not
supported - for architectural and UI reasons. If you need to sort, export the
data as CSV and import it into a spreadsheet.

clearing TM so it shows up as untriaged if it gets reopened.
