Currently accessibility (a11y) bug reports in random modules/products can only be found by querying for the "accessibility" keyword.
Bugzilla does not allow "binding" an email address to a certain keyword to automaticall create bugmail whenever a specific keyword is added. Having accessibility enabled by default since GNOME 3.5, the GNOME a11y team expressed interest in better notification of a11y bug reports. My proposal is similar to how most user documentation bug reports are handled currently (though this is not totally consistent yet either) and affects many projects using Bugzilla (hence CC'ing d-d-l). Proposal: Create a new component for each important (core, core applications?) product/module in Bugzilla called "Accessibility". By default assign any bug reports in this component to a (yet to create) specific account, e.g. "accessibility-t...@gnome.bugs". People that want to follow a11y bug reports could add this account to their watchlist at the bottom of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email to receive bugmail. The "Default QA" field remains as it is (means: a11y reports are still watchable for the actual module developers, as before). Currently two Bugzilla products already have an "Accessibility" component: Empathy and Ekiga. However, in both cases the default assignees are the Empathy/Ekiga maintainers and not the a11y team. The keyword "accessibility" exists and has 973 open tickets in Bugzilla. For those products (core, core apps etc) that I'd create the new "Accessibility" component, I'd probably move any reports with this keyword to the new component. I think we should keep the keyword for those modules/products that are not core apps. If there are no concerns (or proposals how to do this in a better and less disruptive way), I would go ahead with this in a few days. Hopefully. After setting up the new components, bug triagers and developers should move new incoming a11y reports into the new "Accessibility" component of their respective product. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
