Bugzilla permissions

Bugzilla permissions

[Jean Delvare]

Dear bugzilla admin,

Could you please unlock bugzilla so that everybody (starting with me)
is allowed to change the attachment types? I am a bit tired of having
to e-mail the person who created the attachment to ask him/her to
change the type from application/octet-stream to text/plain so that I
can see the attachment directly in my web browser. If we want people to
help with bugs, we must make it as easy for them as possible.

Thanks,

Please send bugzilla admin emails to bugme-admin@linux-foundation.org
(is linked from the front page of http://bugzilla.kernel.org). Sorry, I can't
keep up with reading all of LKML nowadays ;-)

Given that there's no real control on bugzilla accounts, I'm somewhat
reluctant to make it a complete free for all and let any new user edit
any bug. However, for anyone running a subsystem, or anyone else
that I have a vague clue who they are (or any established developer
will vouch for, anyone I can see git commits for, etc), I am perfectly
willing to enable global edit on a individual basis. Hasn't been a big
problem up until now, so I suspect it won't turn into one.

I enabled your account. Thanks for looking at bugs ;-)

Ugh, you did - sorry. Don't know why I didn't see that, will go check
my filters.

Couldn't it be automatic?
Pulling once a day, refreshing mail list by:
git shortlog -e -s|sed "s/.*<\([^>]*\)>/\1/"
and wiring it into bugzilla permission system shouldn't be too time consuming...
