Hi.
I think it's not bad to remove some not useful in Wine's bugzilla fields from bug page:
- whiteboard: what is it for?
Don't know. Maybe for collabration while working on a bug?
- difficulty - this really means nothing, usually set by reporter and
not used by developers at all;
This should not be visible to reporters at all. This should be used by developers to rate what they think the difficulty for resolving a bug.
- alias - used by reporters some times, but often reset by bugzilla
buys (don't know why actually).
Again, a field that should not be visible to reporters at all.
Also it might be good to enable version field only on bug creation for people with report only permissions, version is often changed after reporter tested app again on newer version, after that bugzilla maintainers change it back and so on.
+1. Additional information should be placed in comments.
The less the better, should be a rule here. Don't know is some of that fields configurable or code change required, but still I'm sure it's possible.
I agree here as well. Less, in some cases, is actually more as we will get more reports and it will be easier for submitters to look for duplicates.
