Hi Scarlett and Simon, can you provide us more details about what additional features that you are looking to get from this plugin? Launchpad already has and supports watching and linking to bugs on external bugzilla instances and that doesn't require a plugin.

I ask this because this plugin was last updated ~15 years ago and has been unmaintained since then for all these years and is older than Plasma 5 itself.

What additional features in Launchpad do you need to track these bugs downstream? Can you elaborate.

The plugin is written in Perl, a language that the Launchpad team isn't that familiar with and considering the time that has passed, it might be worth rewriting the plugin from scratch.

We need to discuss this internally to figure if and when we can work on this. While we do this, we are open to accepting contributions from the community on this and will be happy to provide relevant inputs and guidance from the Launchpad side.
