Ok, so as I understand it here is what I will do on Bugzilla side:

1. Create new custom field called PM Score (cf_pm_score).
2. Make the field only visible by Red Hat internal.
3. Make the field only editable by Product Management.
4. Field will be of freetext type.

Assumptions:

1. Value will be calculated outside of Bugzilla and the value updated
either by XMLRPC calls or through the standard UI form.
2. Bernd will be able to access this field from the db connection and
sort on it inside the ack viewer.
Comment 1 David Lawrence 2008-08-27 18:19:05 UTC 
Attached a patch to add filtering for the new cf_pm_score field to be added by the web UI once this update is in place.

Also tested that the field can be set by using Bug.update() XMLRPC call.

Daniel, I am also going to attach a test perl script that you can use in your scripts for updating the field over XMLRPC.

Noura, please review the patch if you can. I would like to push this tomorrow with the normal Thursday update.

Dave
