HWDB

The Hardware Database is used to help triagers and developers to see which devices aren't working well, decide whether there are enough users with a device to warrant support, get more debug information, etc.

Get number of affected users

    As a kernel developer,
    I want to know how many users are using a certain PCI or USB device,
    so that I know how how well we need to support the device.

Story Points:

Notes

• Needs to be able to filter on distro series, since a bug fix may be needed in a stable series, if there are many users being affected by that bug using an older series.

Upstreaming

Link to file bugs upstream

    As a bug triager,
    I want to follow a link from Launchpad to file a bug in the upstream bug
    tracker,
    so that I can forward a bug in LP upstream without having to copy and paste
    the description

Story Points:

Notes

• The links should point to the upstream's filebug page with the description and summary fields pre-filled.
• The user will need to have an account in the upstream bug tracker
• Having the link leave LP is OK
• The link should appear when adding an upstream task

Link to search bugs upstream

    As a bug triager,
    I want to follow a link from Launchpad to search bugs in the upstream bug
    tracker,
    so that I can find possible duplicates upstream without having to copy and
    paste the summary of the bug in LP

Story Points:

Notes

• The link should perform a search using the bug summary
• Having the link leave LP is OK
• The link should appear when adding an upstream task

Enable search and filebug links for a project manually

    As a project maintainer or bug triager,
    I want to set the remote product in the upstream bug tracker,
    so that users can easily search and file upstream bugs from Launchpad

Story Points:

Notes

• The triager doesn't have to be able to set it himself. He can file a question to have it done.
• This feature is useful for correcting links that are wrong.

Enable search and filebug links for a project automatically

    As a bug triager,
    I want to get links for filing and searching bugs for projects where no one
    has set the remote product manually,
    so that I don't have to spend time updating all projects I'm interested in.

Story Points:

Notes

• The script that does it should only set the remote product if it hasn't been set already.
