Currently, a problem is that everybody uses different formatting for stabilization bug reports making them more difficult to be parsed. One option could be to change the way bugs are filled when "Keyword & Stabilization" component is chosen. When that is the case, instead of letting people to play with "Summary" field freely, people would only be able to specify package atoms to be stabilized and, once supplied, bugzilla would take care of reworking the summary to something like: =${P}: stable request -> for the cases where only 1 package is supplied =${P}, =${P1}: stable request -> when a few packages are supplied separated by commas BLABLABLA list stable request -> when reporter chooses (with a checkbox... or KEYWORD or... :/) that they are going to attach a full list for stabilizing (as this cases need to be treated in a completely different way Is this technically possible?
