In automating processes needed for the Fedora VCS <-> Package Database
<-> Bugzilla, we frequently hit an extreme annoyance that is slowing us
down. The e-mail address registered in Fedora Account System (FAS)
accounts do not always match those of Bugzilla accounts.
It would *greatly* simplify our ability to move forward with needed
infrastructure improvements if the two were unified.
Proposal: All FAS accounts must match Bugzilla account addresses
================================================================
Implementation
==============
1) Most users are already fine.
2) Those users who do not yet match, they have the option of either:
a) Change their FAS e-mail address.
b) Change their Bugzilla address. (this requires a one-time change
by dkl in the Bugzilla database)
Benefits
========
- owners.list contains FAS account names instead of arbitrary e-mail
addresses.
- Those account names can be directly used by the VCS ACL
- Simplified view in Package Database
Key question
============
Is this an unreasonable requirement? Please comment.
