Any way to access reporter email/username?

[Brad Parham]

Hi all,

My bugzilla installation (not sure if this is default or not) has a field
called "reporter" which is the email/username of the reporting user. I
can't seem to figure out a way to view the reporter username of a bug. I
can see the reporter_id just fine, but then don't see any way to get the
username from that.

If someone knows a way to do this, i'd love to hear it, otherwise does
anyone have any recommendations for coding this up myself and uploading a
patch? (have you moved to git yet?)

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Brad

I have had success with the 'creator' field.  That might have what you are
looking for.

Usually a 'bugzilla --debug query ...' helps me figure out the mapping of
one field to the data given through the api.

Could also be that you aren't logged into bugzilla... when you aren't logged
in for bugzilla.redhat.com at least, the reporter/creator field is the user's
name like 'Cole Robinson', but when logged in the field will be
crobinso(a)redhat.com
