Description Need Real Name 2005-02-17 07:48:08 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4

Description of problem:
It would be useful to have the facility to transfer a bug to another bugzilla.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Report bug to Red Hat bugzilla
2. Red Hat say "report it upstream" or "this is not a bug, it's an rfe"
3. Then RH say "report it in Y's bugzilla instead"

Actual Results:  Nothing. It's not a good use of time to register yet another bugzilla account somewhere else and re-enter an already-entered bug.

Additional info:

1. Report bug to Red Hat bugzilla
2. Red Hat click "Transfer bug to this product's bugzilla"
Comment 1 David Lawrence 2005-02-23 07:43:32 UTC 
That is the hope one day. XMLRPC allows for this behaviour but no other
Bugzilla's use it that I am aware of. For full adoption this will be best
tackled by the upstream Bugzilla community.

Gah! I opened this bug so that I wouldn't have to keep cross-bugzilla reporting :(
