Project:Pywikibot/Migrating to bugzilla

Migration plan
Note: SF.net has just migrated the project from the old bug tracker system to the new one ('Allura'). See https://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/

WMF Contacs

 * André Klapper (User:AKlapper_(WMF)) can help us set up bugzilla

Name
pywikipedia


 * Pywikipedia (per mailing list) or Pywikipediabot (per Manual:Pywikipediabot) are simple enough. Legoktm (talk) 21:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree on pywikipedia because I think "bot" is redundant, see other py tools, numpy not numpytools, scipy not scipysimulationpackage :D, ... Ladsgroup (talk) 00:47, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Components
The current sf.net labels are:


 * Category
 * copyright
 * cosmetic_changes
 * Genral
 * GUI
 * i18n
 * interwiki
 * login
 * network
 * other
 * redirect
 * rewrite
 * solve_disambiguation
 * weblinkchecker


 * I think we should use categories of sf as components talk) 03:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I think we should change this, for example no more need of interwiki but we should add wikidata, and we should correct order of this list (It's totally alphabetical now) for example general must be first and other must be lastLadsgroup (talk) 00:47, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Linking bugs

 * how can we make sure bugs link to eachother? i.e. a link from BZ to sf.net and from sf.net to BZ? - Valhallasw (talk) 20:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

SF.net export

 * how can we get an export from sf.net? I know there *should* be a button, but I can't find it. If you need any sf.net permissions for this, let me know. - Valhallasw (talk) 20:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Due to the upgrade, the old export function (which exports XML) will not be updated. The current version does not have backup functionality (see this bug), but there is a REST API: docs example 1 example 2

Anonymous bugs
Can we allow anonymous/openid submitted bugs? I think there has been discussion about this on wikitech-l, so it might be good to bump that. - Valhallasw (talk) 20:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I strongly disagree about it but i think we should obey general bugzilla policies (If it will be changed)  talk) 03:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

See these threads:  for OpenID progress.

Mailing list
Pywikipedia-bugs should be switched. We probably need to add the bugzilla mail address as permitted sender?

Does BZ support sending only pwb bugs to this mailing list?
 * Yes, we can just add it as a default CC. Legoktm (talk) 15:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Closed bugs

 * we don't need to import closed bugs is there any objection about it? Ladsgroup (talk) 03:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
