Description Zach Leslie freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-16 18:32:38 UTC 
I'm a port maintainer without commit.  I come to submit patches periodically and then wait for someone to review and commit for me.  Often this takes a long time, usually weeks.  If I don't see the emails, I often forget about my PRs.

Just now, I logged in to find which PRs I've put up, but it requires me to search for the name of the port before any results are available.

I think it would be useful to have a "Open PRs submitted by me" link in the default home view, so that folks could know what they need to follow up on.

Conversely, for those who have PRs assigned to them, a link that is "Open PRs assigned to me" might help speed this along.

Right now, the system provides the fundamentals, but doesn't really help users use the system at all.  Some small adjustments in this regard might help, from my perspective.

Cheers,

Zach

I agree. The first thing I tried to find is "Bugs assigned to me" and there was no such thing. As an experiment I added three links to home page for logged in users:

- Open bugs assigned to me
- Open bugs I reported
- Open bugs I am tracking

If there will be no complaints I'll commit the change to git.

This seems completely reasonable.  Thanks for the attention, Oleksandr.

(In reply to Oleksandr Tymoshenko from comment #1)

What exactly is the (code) change being proposed/made?

Changing the default view is quite a substantial (in scope) change, and assumes a lot about the default mode(s) of use, which may or may not have thorough context.

Any user can create custom searches for themselves, and for any searches that are relevant for large groups of people, bugmeister may create saved searches that can be shared (in the footer), so that everyone (or some groups), can benefit from them by default.

The default "My Bugs" that every user gets (in their footer) is " Assignee: <user> OR Reporter: <user>"

If the actual issue is making these saved searches more obvious, then perhaps we have a documentation or at most a template improvement to make.

I attached proposed patch. It's not code, it's a template modification. If it can be done through saved searches - I can change it. I just used ad-hoc approach.
Comment 6 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-02-24 07:56:50 UTC 
I believe the default "My Bugs" query can be modified in Administration -> Parameters, but again that's a very widely scoped change.

Most other things can and should be satisfiable via saved searches, either the user creating themselves (for super specific stuff), but where cases can be made for wide-value (like the existing public saved searches), we can add more.

@Zach What does the default 'My Bugs' resultset show or not show that you want or don't want for your needs?

Or do you mean something else by 'default view' (different from My Bugs) ?
Comment 7 Oleksandr Tymoshenko freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-02-24 08:02:21 UTC 
OK. Then I probably misunderstood request. My understanding of "Default view" was "Home page". The first page where use ends up by going to bugs.freebsd.org.
Comment 8 Oleksandr Tymoshenko freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-03-07 22:54:32 UTC 
Zach, could you clarify original request? Was it for "My Bugs" query or just home page in general?
Comment 9 Zach Leslie freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-03-11 22:05:00 UTC 
Oh, I'm just now seeing that there is a link called "my bugs" on the home page.  I think I'd missed it before, since its tiny and at the bottom.  The three links that have been added to the "home" page make this much more clear to me, even though it might be duplicate of the "my bugs".
