I work at Canonical on Launchpad and am trying to setup syncing between our bug tracker and the GCC bug tracker. Specifically, we want to enable comment syncing between linked bugs on our trackers and back links from your Bugzilla to the Launchpad bug. Currently we only sync status and importance from your tracker to ours. We need credentials for an account on your tracker to setup this additional syncing. If we had such credentials, we would sync comments and back links only if a Launchpad bug is linked to a GCC Bugzilla bug. We store these credentials in private configs on Launchpad. We have this setup for a number of other trackers. The Mozilla Bugzilla comes to mind as a tracker we do this with already.
Will it be possible to post comments to Launchpad, and not have them automatically posted to bugzilla?
I sometimes post Linaro-specific details to the Launchpad bug which would be meaningless noise in upstream bugzilla. The bug is linked because the problem is the same, but typically the source-base is different, and/or we want to add additional tracking details, or whatever.
e.g. I don't think bugzilla readers are interested in a comment like "Bug targeted at Linaro x.x release", or "Patch committed to lp:gcc-linaro/4.5 revision 99456".
