[Libreoffice-qa] [libreoffice-accessibility] Adding "Accessibility" component to Bug Assistant

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
In bug-reports there are several drop-downs.  One has "feature request" and i think another has "Easy hack"?  Would one of those be better than the other?  Which of those was which option of the a, b, c etc?
Regards from
Tom :)

So it always would be replaced during the bug triaging and fixing process.
