Ubuntu's malone und Gentoo-Bugs

[Reinhard Tartler]

Hey lists.

I just received a couple of questions about malone from our gentoo
friends. I'm forwarding the email here. Please be so kind and CC: him on
answers.

----- Forwarded message from Marc Hildebrand <zypher at gentoo.org> -----

I'd like to know more:

Basic Questions:

Trust relationships between bug
- Will troll X registered in project debian be able to cross-spam
bugs.gentoo.org? or vise versa?
- If Gentoo deletes troll X will this clean up debian's bugz?

Full list of value add:
- Single edit in bugs.g.o pushed the bugs to the upstream bug program?
- Single link from bugs.g.o will show you a list of bugs on the same
product
in other distros?
- Will there be a single link to say bug x in gentoo is the same as bug
y in
Redhat? Will this be transitive to Ubuntu?

Ownership of relationship.
- Does Gentoo devs decide to relate to distro Debian bug handler?
- Do Gentoo devs decide package x is the same as package y in Debian
which is
the same as sourceforge project number z?

Technical
- Is it a distributed API?
- What access control on all features?

Future:
- Is this in active development?
- Is the API version controlled
- Is bugzilla.org supporting integration into future releases?
- What other bug management devs are integrating?
- Will sourceforge globally enable bug integration by default?
