If for example all Bugzilla notification mails are screened for changes in the whiteboard field, it would be enough for someone to add it properly once to notify the blocker/NTH committee of its existence.
Other ideas:
- Screening for special keywords in comments
- Allowing to add blocker proposals to a wiki page and screen changes
- Allow to send blocker proposals to a special e-mail address
- Provide a special web app where bug IDs can be entered
I'm not a huge fan of any of these because they all require manual translation of the request, and that's something that's always going to go wrong at some point. What the current method achieves is it feeds the nomination straight into our actual blocker handling workflow, which is entirely centred around Bugzilla. There's no manual 'handling' of the nomination needed, it's just...done. I'd definitely like to keep that element.
I though it was obvious, but of course there does not need to be any manual translation, but a script that automatically adds the specified bugs to the tracking bug.
Oh, right. Well, that makes more sense, but it seems like a lot more moving parts than the current set up...
From my point of view the proposed ideas are a lot easier than
setting up and maintaining a second Bugzilla instance.
