Summary: allow custom fields to extend profiles table → Custom user fields (fields that extend the profiles table)
Status field, displayed next to name Currently, many people use the Real Name field to tell the world important things about themselves. I have seen: - 'I'm on vacation till ...' - 'Not reading bugmail' - 'Die marquee die' ;-) - 'Looking for a job' These are commonly added in round brackets after the real name. It is a pain, because: - It makes it rediculously long - It can't be used for other purposes, where a shorter name for the user is needed (like bug 181235). Make a field, especially for these purposes. People should write in there a few words which they want to let the world know. These would be shown prominently, maybe even very similar to today, but we (bugzilla) would know what it is and can ignore it for certain usages and adjust the HTML in others.
This is essentially the same as bug 243944 (and should probably be done as an extension, as indicated in that bug).
