Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
1/2 xdg-email doesn't detect thunderbird as default email client because there is a typo in xdg-mail in open-gnome3 where it is currently...
client=`desktop_file_to_binary "$browser"`
and it should be
client=`desktop_file_to_binary "$desktop"`
2/2 xdg-email doesn't detect thunderbird as default email client because it uses
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/mailto
which returns "evolution"
but however
gvfs-mime --query x-scheme-handler/mailto
does return "thunderbird"
I'm not sure where the bug is there, but my gnome3 settings lists thunderbird as the default so thats the expected result
xdg-email will eventually launch thunderbird anyway because it hands it off to another program to find the email client, but because it doesn't know that the email client is thunderbird it doesn't use its built-in special case for thunderbird to enable adding attachments to thunderbird
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
