Essentially, each toolkit in widget/src/ should have a component: beos qa: guru@startrek.com owner: guru@startrek.com gtk qa: mcafee@netscape.com owner: pavlov@netscape.com mac qa: sairuh@netscape.com owner: pinkerton@netscape.com motif qa: Roland.Mainz@informatik.med.uni-giessen.de owner: zuperdee@penguinpowered.com os2 qa: mozilla@us.ibm.com* owner: mkaply@us.ibm.com photon qa: Michael.Kedl@nexwarecorp.com owner: Jerry.Kirk@Nexwarecorp.com qt qa: linuxqa@corel.com* owner: johng@corel.com rhapsody * this doesn't appear to be real. However, we should have: Fizzilla qa: jrgm@netscape.com owner: pinkerton@netscape.com windows qa: sairuh@netscape.com owner: danm@netscape.com/law@netscape.com *this will probably be used much less often than the others, but it should exist. xlib qa: Roland.Mainz@informatik.med.uni-giessen.de owner: quy@igelaus.com.au xremote qa: dmose@mozilla.org owner: blizzard@mozilla.org We can either use the Derivatives product, or create a Ports product (or if someone has a better name...). * I know linuxqa@ and mozilla@ aren't really real, but hopefully they can select someone. If people have better suggestions for owners or qa contacts, just jot them down, this was a quick and arbitrary list. Owners/QA Contacts can suggest summaries or whatever, but a general default summary might be along the lines of: ~For bugs specific to the widget set or porting issues. Please do not use this component if you think this problem occurs with multiple toolkits or on multiple platforms.~

See bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41359

at this point i don't believe i'd be the right person as qa contact for mac and windows. :)

I should be the owner of the photon port, I am listed on the module owners page. I would also like to add another person as owner and a new QA person. Brian photon: QA - Joe Bishop (joe@qnx.com) bugzilla: joe@qnx.com Owner - Brian Edmond (briane@qnx.com) bugzilla: briane@qnx.com Owner - Dave Inglis (dinglis@qnx.com) bugzilla: dinglis@qnx.com

Remove nonsense address: linuxqa@corel.com from CC list.

Added my home email address to CC list since today is my last day at Corel...

If either of you object, please comment. If this bug is never implemented then I will probably still use the latest information from it when i need to select Assignees and QAs for platform bugs. openvms, assignee: colin@theblakes.com and qa: jakobus@iaf.fhg.de footnote: beos probably needs new assignee/qa contacts i think guru@startrek.com is now wade@ezri.org I know benb, cls, and david.hallowell@ukuug.org build BeZilla occasionally duncan used to be somewhat involved in BeZilla, and myron has offered a patch recently. If this seems like a fishing expedition, it is, and I am sorry. VYA04230@nifty.com is still providing BeZilla patches - thank you If any of the people i just cc'd or mentioned would be interested in a default qa/assignee role, please comment.

What's wrong with the field "Platform"? It allows things like Component Networking, Platform BeOS. Sure, the default assignees will be wrong, but this could be fixed in BugZilla (the software).

The main thing at issue here for me was being autocopied on OS/2 bugs. Maybe the easiest thing is to do that. Allow people to observer a platform the same way they can observe a component.

if this ever happens you can change mac Qa to claudius@netscape.com.

Just a note, the johng@corel.com address for Qt ownership is obsolete, please use jcgriggs@sympatico.ca instead. The CC list seems to have been updated for this already, so I just wanted to make sure anyone looking at the comments got the right address (I'll just have to put up with some additional spam, I guess 8^).

The more I think about this the less I like it (and I started off not liking it). I believe it would be used incorrectly significantly mor often than correctly. I can see it now "Oh, I'm using a windows Mozilla build. I should file my bug on the Windows Platform."

I would just be happy with a way to observe platforms as well as components. I want to be autocopied on every OS/2 bug.

I would just be happy with a way to observe platforms as well as components. I want to be autocopied on every Xlib bug. :-)

maybe someone should file a bug on Bugzilla for Platform watching. We're about to get Component watching, maybe that code could be modified to watch values from other fields

*shrug* we don't have an Xlib platform, nor do we have a Qt platform. We really need: Hardware (x86, ia64, sparc, alpha, ppc, 68k, ...) Toolkit (w32, Qt, Quartz, MacOS Classic, gtk, xlib, beos, qt, ...) Platform -- Removed/Replaced by above. OS (unchanged) For now, I will continue to use this bug to maintain the list of contacts because there isn't anything easier.

i've filed bug 95255 to request Platform watching.
