>Bugzilla could be more proactive in detecting suboptimal situations and<br>
prevent them or whine about them.<br>
<br>
1. Bugzilla Crime #1: Marking A Bug Fixed With Unresolved Dependencies<br>
<br>
It can't be marked fixed with unresolved dependencies. Either mark it<br>
INVALID (tracking bugs), fix the dependencies at the same time, or<br>
resolve the blockers.<br>
<br>
See "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24496".<br>
<br>
2. Keyword Restrictions<br>
<br>
Some keywords should only apply in certain circumstances, eg beta1 =><br>
Milestone <<br>
M14, css1 => Component = Style System are possibilities. See<br>
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26940".<br>
<br>
3. Whine About Old Votes<br>
<br>
Old votes can just sit on resolved bugs. This is problematic with<br>
duplicates especially. Automatic transferral/removal is not<br>
appropriate since bugs can be reopened, but a whining solution might<br>
work. See "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27553".<br>
<br>
4. Whine And Warn About Milestone Mismatches<br>
<br>
Here's a fun one. Bug X (M17) depends on Bug Y (M15). Bug Y gets moved<br>
out to M19. The notification to the assignee of Bug X gets ignored (of<br>
course) and Bug X is now due to be fixed before one of its blockers.<br>
<br>
Warnings about this when it is detected as well as whining about it in<br>
email would help bring these issues to the attention of people sooner.<br>
<br>
Note that this would be less of a problem if we didn't have so many<br>
tracking bugs since they aren't updated that often and often have this<br>
problem.<br>
<br>
