If this feature isn't there today (and I figure it could be), then I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add it. The program would still be called send-pr, but obviously it probably wouldn't function much like the send-pr we all know and love to hate. > And, I think, the biggest nightmare ... how do you switch over from GNaTs > -> Bugzilla without losing a *very* large portion of your user base? > You'd need some sort of 'GNaTs Report -> Bugzilla Entry' gateway so that > users of older versions would still have acess ... Damn. I wish you had asked these questions a couple of days ago. I had some of the key bugzilla developers sitting with me at the pre-FOSDEM drink on the Grand Place here in Brussels on Friday night, and there was a apparently a pretty big bugzilla representation at the conference. We could have made this a pretty short task.... Oh, and wait for a huge, huge announcement to come soon from them. I can't tell you who's switching over, but it's a really big announcement. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
