The query page ought to have a choice of either showing the bugs (like it does today) or showing activity in bugs (sort of like what the "View Bug Activity" link does now). I think the database tables we have now will support it (well, probably need to add an index or two to the activity table).
The database is being reorganized a bit. Instead of the Bugzilla product, a new Webtools product has been created, with Bugzilla being a component of it. This bug is being moved from the old Bugzilla product to the new Webtools product.

"View Bug Activity" is in and works. I would call this fixed. Yes?
Priority: P2 → P5
No, "view bug activity" shows what has happened on a single bug. I would like (someday) to be able to say "show me everything that has happened to any bug in this project in the last week". Wouldn't that be cool?
Yep...that would be the cats meow....:-)
Reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org, who now has front-line responsibility for all Bonsai and Bugzilla bugs.
Reassigning back to me. That stuff about me no longer being the front-line person responsible for Bugzilla and Bonsai turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.
Would the following do what you are looking for? Do a query that selects the bugs for which you wish to know the activity, setting the "changed in the last n days" field to some reasonable number. Then, once the buglist is up, go to the bottom, and next to "Long Format" you would find a "Activity in Long Format" button (or link), which gives you the result of the "View Bug Activity" link that is present on each bug, but for all the bugs on the list? Terry: this could be implemented by iterating show_activity.cgi over each bug in the list.

Yeah, that would be pretty close. It would be nice to query a time range, rather than just "changes made in the last n days", but whatever.

This bug has been fixed. You can select in the query page by "where the fields" and a date range, or changed to value. Let's resolve this ancient bug.
Querying on what fields have changed is not the same as looking at a list of what has changed on a bug. This has not been fixed yet, either.
Adding default QA contact to all open Webtools/Bugzilla bugs lacking one. Sorry for the spam.

Attached patch v1 (deleted) — Splinter Review
Rather than futher complicate query.cgi/buglist.cgi, this patch adds a link to the bottom of buglist.cgi, to display the activity log of those bugs listed. Once on show_activity the user can enter an appropriate date range. Comments/Ideas welcome.
> Comments/Ideas welcome. Here is some brainstorming: I think "show recent activity" would be most useful in combination with bug 72132 ("[RFE] Daily/Weekly digests."), or even together with offering a "pull" model for notifications. (Is there a bug on the latter yet?) I have bookmarked a stored query that asks for all bugs in the Bugzilla product where someone added a comment after some date. Every day or two, I used to load this bookmark, change the date to the one from my last buglist, then run it. Then I write down the date from the new buglist manually, and read through the bugs. There are several problems: - As soon as I do another bugzilla query, the "current buglist remembered by bugzilla" gets overwritten, and the "Next" link on the bug I'm working on disappears. - When reading the bugs on the list, I have to manually find the first comment that is new. Both of these could be solved or worked around by displaying the "recent activity" for each bug on the buglist itself: The information on such a page would be self-contained, so it wouldn't matter much if the "current buglist" gets overwritten, and only the recent comments are displayed (together with the non-comment-activity), so no need to search for anything. The downside of this approach is that it doesn't scale particularly well: If the number of bugs or the time interval is too large, then the result will be a _huge_ page, and the browser probably won't be able to handle it (or crash with an out-of-memory error).
remove self
Reassigning all of my "future" targetted bugs to indicate that I'm not presently working on them, and someone else could feel free to work on them. (sorry for the spam if you got this twice, it didn't take right the first time)

Per comment 7 and comment 8, fixing bug 158205 would make terry happy.

BMO has a customization which shows recent activity for one or more users: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=user_activity.html Would porting that upstream be sufficient to fix this bug? Alternatively, this bug has been dormant now for nearly 6 years, and no-one seems to have given a set of use cases for it. We don't have people crying out for this function - there are only 9 people on the CC list. Does that make it a WONTFIX? Gerv
