In an attempt to make life easier for Evolution's maintainers, we may
want to patch our package to send BugBuddy reports to the right place...

The Evolution product in Bugzilla gets overwhelmed with useless crash
reports from Bug Buddy and it makes searching for open and actionable
bug reports more difficult for us maintainers.

In an attempt to partition these Bug Buddy submissions from confirmed
bugs, I've created a new "BugBuddyBugs" Bugzilla component for Evolution
and have updated the evolution.desktop file to submit bugs to this new
category [1]. This is already in today's 2.12.3 release and will also
be in the 2.21.5 release next week.

Once confirmed, these Bug Buddy bugs will be moved to the appropriate
product and component in Bugzilla.

I would like to ask Evolution packagers to patch older releases of their
distros to submit crash reports to the new Bugzilla component so that we
can begin to clean up the other Bugzilla components. I pushed updates
for all supported Fedora releases over the weekend and we're already
starting to see hits [2].

Thanks,
Matthew Barnes
