Denis‘ blog entry on upgrading to the new version of Bugzilla prompted me to post a comment on enabling flags in Eclipse’s bugzilla. Flags are widely used by the Mozilla team for things like approving patches from contributors and also just generally approving bugs for a specific release. I think Eclipse can benefit with flags for things like letting committers approve patches from contributors (or each other) and PMC approvals. Denis graciously opened a bug to discuss this (and a sample of what flags would look like in Eclipse bugzilla). Please comment if you have an opinion on the issue 🙂
