             Bug #: 49168
           Summary: Create a bugzilla bot that warns about changing the
                    version field to something newer
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO Master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bjoern.michaelsen at canonical.com


Inexperienced users often update the version field in bugzilla when they find a
bug is also present in a newer version. This is incorrect as the version field
should show the first version were the error occurred. QA members waste a lot
of time writing bulk statements asking the changer to confirm his choice to be
intentional. It would be great to have a bot that posts something alone the
lines of:
"Dear $changemaker, you changed the version field of this bug to a newer
version. Please be advised that the version field of a bug should show the
oldest version were the issue is found, not the newest (see $wikilink for
details). Please recheck your change and revert it unless the bug was indeed
not present in the old version specified before your change."
as a comment everytime somebody changes the version field to something newer.
