Dear LibreOffice developers,

I'd be grateful if you could add an option to your bugtracker to hide bug 
reports and/or sample files from public view, i.e., add a "Private" option, so 
that only developers and admins can see them.


The reason for my request is that I have many sample files for the DLP project, 
created by third parties, that show enormous deficiencies in these import 
libraries. I've sent some of them to the developers, but I've been told that, 
as far DLP is concerned, bugs and issues don't exist unless they show up in the 
bugtracker. The advantage of those files is that they have been created by real 
graphics professionals for real customers and are far more valuable than simple 
unit tests. Unfortunately I cannot file bug reports regarding the test files, 
because there is no "Private" option for files that require confidentiality.


The Scribus project is using Mantis as a BT, and we have been successful in 
receiving many real-world test files that helped us fixing bugs with the 
"Private" option.


Maybe you could enable this option in the LibreOffice bugtracker, too, because 
it would definitely help to improve the DLP libraries.


Thanks,
Christoph
