A special 'public' checkbox (or group) that make the main details of the bug visible to the everyone, even though the bug may belong to one or more private groups (perhaps also hiding the reporter's name). The 2-state 'private' checkbox against each comment becomes tri-state: (1) visible only to RH (2) visible only to RH plus the groups the bug belongs to (and reporter/cclist if checked) (3) visible to everyone when the bug is marked 'public' - otherwise same as 2 A 'Visibility' of exactly one of 'Red Hat OR Partner OR Public' would be selected against each comment. [Obviously the exact wording is open to debate - 'Groups' rather than 'Partner' for example - or use multiple checkboxes.] Then it would be possible for many of the bugs that today have to be kept private because they contain information we only want the reporter/partner groups/cclist to read to be made visible to everyone and we could still have comments there restricted to partners & issue tracker.
Voting for future Bugzilla features will be opening soon. Announcement of start date will be posted to the bugzilla-development-list and other broader audience. Dave
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.
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

Still should be changed IMO
(In reply to comment #8) > Still should be changed IMO This won't happen. At the core of Bugzilla, a private bug is not viewable if you are not able to see the bug. For us to break this will require the Red Hat Bugzilla team would need to maintain its on security on bug information, and that is not feasable.
