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.
