Bug Description
When using remote bug watches, Launchpad will associate a comment that was made directly on a Mozilla bug with the existing Launchpad user who made that comment. However, it does not do the same thing for Linux kernel bugs.
For example, see the following comment imported from bugzilla.
https:/
Clicking my name above the comment text will display my Launchpad user page. I did not have to do anything to make this work.
Now, see the following comment imported from bugzilla.kernel.org into a Launchpad bug:
https:/
Clicking my name will take you to the Launchpad user page for "david.
For both Mozilla and the Linux kernel, my Bugzilla account is registered with the same e-mail address; this e-mail address is invisible when someone views the bug anonymously; and this e-mail address becomes visible when someone logs into the Bugzilla server.
The kernel Bugzilla instance doesn't expose the email address:
$ python ServerProxy( 'https:/ /bugzilla. mozilla. org/xmlrpc. cgi') Bug.comments( {'comment_ ids': [5440259] })['comments' ]['5440259' ]['creator' ] ward@<domain redacted>' ServerProxy( 'https:/ /bugzilla. kernel. org/xmlrpc. cgi') Bug.comments( {'comment_ ids': [1052651] })['comments' ]['1052651' ]['creator' ]
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> mozilla = xmlrpclib.
>>> mozilla.
'david.
>>> kernel = xmlrpclib.
>>> kernel.
'david.ward'
There may be some other API to let us get hold of the email address; this will require investigation.
[Reposted comment to redact email address, since it's marked private on your Launchpad account.]
