Description Eric Sandeen 2007-04-23 19:04:57 UTC
Not sure if this is possible or not; feel free to WONTFIX if appropriate.

Since often/usually we treat customer-reported bugs as customer-confidential, it
makes it hard to share the *technical* details of the bug with anyone other than
the reporter.  We have the [ ] private checkboxes for comments, but that seems
to be going the other direction - mark private what would otherwise be public.

Would it be possible to perhaps have a [ ] public counterpart to [ ] private
which makes *only* those marked comments public, regardless of overall bug
permissions?  Or some other means to very specifically and intentionally provide
customer-info-free summary information for a particular bug, so that when other
customers or partners see something in the changelog, they can get the
-technical- background & reason for the change?

Thanks,

-Eric

Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.4 of the Bugzilla codebase and
therefore this feature will need to be implemented against the new release.
Updating bug version to 3.2.

Comment 2 David Lawrence 2010-08-25 21:43:55 UTC
Red Hat has now upgraded to Bugzilla 3.6 and this bug will now be reassigned to that version. It would be helpful to the Bugzilla Development Team if this bug is verified to still be an issue with the latest version. If it is no longer an issue, then feel free to close, otherwise please comment that it is still a problem and we will try to address the issue as soon as we can.

Thanks
Bugzilla Development Team
