- Subject: Suggestion for logging changes on Bugzilla
I just did a search on "My bugs" and found that one of them, 22118,
had a title that I didn't recognize. I then remembered that the
title had been changed from my original description; ordinarily there
is not an entry in a bugzilla record noting that a title has in fact
been changed.
I would like to suggest that all substantive changes to a bugzilla
record (change of title, change of component, change of "Reported
against", etc.) be automatically accompanied by a log entry in the PR
that states the change and who made it. Then we can at least have a
record of who made changes and be able to ask them why there were
made, etc.. I think e-mail is now sent to interested parties when
such changes are made, but it would be good if a record is kept in
the PR, too.

BTW, PR 22118 can probably be closed; for example, Geoff has committed
