One of the features of Bugzilla that I'm really missing is flags. I just filed a feature request related to this:
http://gemini.countersoft.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=3665&PROJID=2
but I'm looking for a somewhat usable workaround for a specific use-case involving code reviews. To quote from my example in the feature request:
"An example of how I want to use flags is so that team members can request code reviews. The way this would work is, when the developer would like someone else to review their code, they would set a "code review requested" flag on the task. If they want a specific member to review the code, they could specify that person as the target of the flag, and that person would receive the request notice. Otherwise, they would leave the recipient unspecified, and the request would show up on everyone's list. Once the code is reviewed, the reviewer would set the flag to approved or not approved and optionally add a comment further explaining their actions. All of this happens without having to fuss with changing task assignees or putting people on the watch list or dealing with custom fields."
I've been trying to think of a workaround that isn't incredibly kludgey, but the best I've come up with so far involved custom fields and custom states, and it's an utter failure on the kludge test. Anyone else have any thoughts?
