Description Laura Novich 2015-06-23 14:45:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using the current model, it is impossible to tag multiple people with a need info request at the same time, forcing the requester to submit several need info requests in succession. This wastes valuable time. It would be better if the need info field allowed for multiple email addresses to be added separated by a comma or semicolon.

Another way to go about this might be to add a possibility to create another needinfo bar/pane - much like when creating filters in e-mail clients.

This would add the possibility to automatically select several people assigned to the erratum (for instance the reporter as well as the assignee) without having to copy or write out the precise addresses.

Taking Jiri's suggestion as the solution, the result would look like the picture attached.

This bug has missed the BZ5 feature freeze and has been bumped to 5.x.
Comment 6 Meiying Li 2019-10-22 07:37:34 UTC 
@Jeff When I try to add one needinfo use the traditional way to 'meli', and the new needinfor bar with 'qgong, meli'
then I really can add this:
Flags: needinfo?(meli) needinfo?(qgong) needinfo?(meli)   (same two needinfos)

Later, I login with my account meli, find there are two warning lins at the bottom of bug 1507324
I am providing the requested information for this bug (Will clear all needinfo requests).
I am providing the information requested of myself (Will clear your needinfo request). 

Different warnings with the similar meaning, could we make it as same one for one bug?
I would like to assign it back to you for further talking, thanks.

It's always been possible to flag someone for needinfo multiple timer. It's odd but it's expected behaviour.

It is legitimate to show both in some cases, and does no harm in this case, soI'd rather not increase the number of different UI experiences unless there is a good reason to do so.

Please don't do this. If you want to ask questions just needinfo me and leave changing the status until the questions have been resolved.

Thanks for quick reply. I won't change status next time.

As talked in Comment #7, QE will set this issue as verified because the implement meets our expectation till now.

This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this
bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.
