Getting back the old Bugzilla bug entry form

[Florian Weimer]

Guided bug filing in Bugzilla was rolled out today.

Is there a way to get back the old entry form?  It doesn't look it's
possible, specifying ?format=FORMAT gives this error:

| file error - cannot find file -
| bug/create/create-FORMATguided-Fedora.html.tmpl ()

So it looks like the server just inserts “-Fedora” unconditionally.

And including the user agent in the description without warning is not
cool. 8-(

Thanks,
Florian

We link to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&format... 
from 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Review_Proc... 
and the link is now broken as well :(

We have a workflow that generates links like this:

url_prefix = 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?'
     params = {
         'short_desc': summary,
         'comment': description,
         'component': str(package),
         'blocked': TRACKER,
         'product': 'Fedora',
         'version': 'rawhide',
         #'bug_severity': 'high',
         'cc': '[e-mail],[e-mail]'
     }

# Rate-limit opening browser tabs
     async with browser_lock:
         webbrowser.open(url_prefix + urlencode(params))
         await asyncio.sleep(1)

It no longer fully functional. This will disrupt our Python 3.12 work :(

Apparently, the RHEL 9 product still has the old form, so Fedor amust have 
opted into this. I wonder, where was this change coordinated? How did I miss it?

It was coordinated here:

Default Fedora bug creation to Guided bug entry 
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1931587

It's not just something the Bugzilla admins came up with.  To be clear,
I learned about it only after deployment, too.

Thanks,
Florian

Mea culpa. My understanding was that this would not impact the sorts
of use cases that were broken. Clearly that's not the case.
Regardless, this should have been better communicated and tested. I
take full responsibility for that; I should know better.

I'll work with the Bugzilla developers to get this fixed or rolled
back if it can't be.
