[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Bugzilla modules and components hierarchy notvery easy

[From: Jakub.Pavelek at nokia.com]

Hi,

I'm happy this is not just my impression. We encourage the use of Maemo bugzilla, and internal Nokia developers spend time looking after the bugs, but the bugzilla setup is not suitable. There is no way I could make a query that would return bugs related to my area - I have to search all and hand-pick from there. Plus all the other problems José already described.

Would someone start a WIKI with proposed structure so that people can comment on it? Or some other idea how to intitate the change?

Br,
