restricted commenting
some bug reports are inundated with comments that make it difficult for developers to conduct technical discussions. restricting comments provides the ability for users in the editusers group to prevent users who are not in the editbugs from making additional comments.
guidelines
- restrictions may be applied to bugs which are subject to high volumes of off topic comments, or bugs which contain high volumes of violations of bugzilla etiquette guidelines.
- restrictions should not be used as a preemptive measure against comments which have not yet occurred.
- restrictions should not be used to privilege editbugs users over other users in valid disputes/discussions.
- users who are not in the editbugs group will not be able to comment on the bug, nor will they be able to change the value of any field.
- all users will still be able to CC themselves to the bug.
- all users will still be able to vote for the bug.
