Brad Bollenbach (bradb) wrote : NeedsInfo should be moved into a separate bug or bugtask flag

NeedsInfo is currently a bugtask "status". This is problematic because it prevents us from representing:

  * An unconfirmed bug that needs info (e.g. from the reporter)

  * A confirmed bug that needs info (e.g. from the UI designer on how best to fix a UI issue)

IOW, it prevents us from maintaining the "state" of the bug while it's blocked on needing info from someone.

The propose solutions here include:

  1. Making NeedsInfo a separate flag on the bug (...or bugtask?)

  2. Using a text entry field that allows you to specify the name of the person from which the info is needed.
