from the upstream conversations they would like to have function called get_components() https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385282 I think that this function can replace our getProdCompDetails() and also gerProdCompInfo() ,, as basically those 2 functions of ours do the same thing only different in what they return, getProdCompDetails() takes product id and returns componets details which are name, initialqacontact, initialowner, initialcclist and description . whereas gerProdCompInfo() takes the product id and returns only components details which are name and description, the user authentication and access required is similar between the 2 functions. My suggestion would be to have get_components() function that will do similar job to our getProdCompDetails() with the comprehensive component details return, and ofcourse the difference will be that the function will use the upstream Bugzilla modules Product.pm and Component.pm to do the work instead of using SQL queries as how it is currently in our code. I started the discussion with the upstream about it and will see what they will say.
