would be nice to see reporter on bug list pages

[Colin Watson]

I'd like to see the reporter of each bug on the bug list pages.

When I'm looking for bugs, I often scan down my bug list page thinking "now where was that bug I vaguely remember again?". Bug summaries help of course, but often bugs get reported with quite a misleading summary and I don't always remember to fix them up once I've worked out what the reporter was actually talking about.

However, since I'm human I'm the fortunate possessor of a brain tuned by millennia of evolution for dealing with interactions with other humans, and while I may not remember the reporter's name right off the bat I often find that glancing down the bug list (in debbugs, which does display the reporter on bug lists) and seeing the reporter's name is enough to trigger a memory of talking with that person about the issue. I think this would help me in cases where my memory of the issue is sufficiently fuzzy that I cannot construct an accurate search.

(See also bug 78608, about displaying arbitrary columns in search results.)

Me too.

I think this further demonstrates, particularly when we resurrect the
table view, that a three-column layout is infeasible for bug listings.

We no longer use a three-column layout for bug listings. Can anything be done about this now given that change? I would still find it very useful.
