* Bugzilla Field: Regression-By (Xisco)

    - https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3565

    - To make searching for "regressions by someone" more reliable

    - current way is to full-text-search in comments: "Adding Cc: to"

    - idea: only a restricted group to set it, to avoid a blame game

    - restriction would be not only for setting but also for reading? (Cloph)

      - yes, if possible to implement

    - what's the benefit? (Stephan)

      - so you can query for your bugs more easily (Xisco)

    - support the idea (Thorsten)

      - quite hard to search currently

    - who to put there? author or committer? (Caolan)

      - up to the person who sets the field? (Thorsten)

      - so far always used the author (Xisco)

    - will this allow removing the result of bad bisects? (Miklos)

      - yes (Xisco)

      - nice improvement (Miklos)

    - would you also re-tag old bugs? (Miklos)

      - up to the QA people

      - plan no mass-tagging (Xisco)

    - looks like a sensible approach (Caolan)



* QA update (Xisco)
