Description Rob Landry 2009-03-05 21:50:06 UTC

Description of problem:

If bugzilla can support multiple depends, can bugzilla support the idea of a threaded conversation, where someone could reply to a specific earlier comment not always the last conversation, again allowing for multiple needinfo requestees?  Perhaps a simple stairstep'd display defaulting to adding the next conversation to the end but allowing for reply to dialog to be displayed on request to an earlier comment?

Comment 1 Rob Landry 2009-03-05 21:52:00 UTC

...er  "multiple depends" should be "multiple needinfo's".

Comment 2 David Lawrence 2009-03-09 14:33:53 UTC

We will need to look into the amount of work needed to implement this feature. It may be best to work with upstream on this one but I am not sure they will consider this a high priority.

Comment 3 XINSUN 2009-06-22 08:19:39 UTC

There is already a same request in the upstream bugzilla:

Nicho, can you propose a patch to the mozilla.org bug (including whatever limitations and/or changes you still plan on making?
