Description Ani Peter 2008-01-28 05:40:39 UTC
Description of problem:
In Bugzilla, when one changes the status of bug as NEEDINFO and request someone
for an information, the output of that bug comes as:

STATUS: NEEDINFO requested of <email id>

The above sentence should be rephrased. Instead of 'requested for', I think it
should be framed as 'requested from' .

Understand its a very minor mistake, still I feel it should be corrected.

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


How reproducible:
Always when status of a bug is changed to NEEDINFO

Actual results:
When status of a bug is changed to NEEDINFO, the output of that bug comes as:
STATUS: NEEDINFO requested of <email id>

Expected results:
When status of a bug is changed to NEEDINFO, the output of that bug must be:
STATUS: NEEDINFO requested from <email id> 


Additional info:
For ref, please have a look at following bug with status as NEEDINFO

It is not currently 'requested for', it is 'requested of' which I feel means the
same as 'requested from'. This is the first I have heard anyone say it is confusing.

Hi David,

My apologies, it was a typo. Yes, currently its 'requested of'. The sentence
construction is wrong. It should be 'requested from' - requesting some
information from someone. 'requested of' is a wrong usage. Since we know the
purpose of NEEDINFO status, everyone understands that information is requested
from the person whose email id is mentioned. But requested is always 'from' and
not 'of'.
Very minor error, but better to be corrected.

Thanks
Ani
