Bugzilla/Cleanup

There are quite a few big cleanup jobs that our Bugzilla database could do with, but they're sure to result in a huge volume of bugmail spam, to wikibugs-l, individual users and to the IRC channels. The best way to proceed is to set aside a window when email from the bugzilla installation will be disabled, and we can make large changes without generating a huge volume of mail.

Changes that need to be made:


 * Remove deprecated keywords
 * fixed-in-14-cvs
 * fixed-in-15-cvs
 * fixed-in-cvs
 * bugday


 * Remove keywords from closed bugs
 * Is that necessary? ^demon
 * Of course not; none of this is essential. Doesn't mean it's not beneficial. Happy ‑ melon 14:48, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Cleanup some keywords
 * easy can apparently do with a cleanout, since they aren't all "easy". Peachey88 00:07, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Consolidate MW version numbers - 1.4.x &rarr; 1.4, etc, up to 1.10 (except 1.6.x</tt>??)
 * Will cause the most spam &larr; This is why we're shutting down BZ for the duration. ^demon


 * Cleanout some products and components with many misplaced bugs:
 * wikibugs IRC bot</tt>
 * This was caused by the component was simply called "wikibugs" compared to he current naming of something like "Wikibugs IRC bot", I created a list when i started previously but never finished. Peachey88 05:17, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Deprecate some components and products
 * Issues</tt>?
 * Needs to die. ^demon
 * Wiktionary tools</tt>?
 * I keep getting told this is looked at. But nothing ever gets fixed. Someone needs to step or we should shut it down. ^demon


 * Reorganise some products/components
 * Logwood</tt> &rarr; Wikimedia/Usage Statistics</tt>?
