* Bugzilla Field: Regression-By (Xisco)

     - https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3565

     - To make searching for "regressions by someone" more reliable

     - current way is to full-text-search in comments: "Adding Cc: to"

     - idea: only a restricted group to set it, to avoid a blame game

     - restriction would be not only for setting but also for reading? (Cloph)

       - yes, if possible to implement

     - what's the benefit? (Stephan)

       - so you can query for your bugs more easily (Xisco)

     - support the idea (Thorsten)

       - quite hard to search currently

     - who to put there? author or committer? (Caolan)

       - up to the person who sets the field? (Thorsten)

       - so far always used the author (Xisco)

     - will this allow removing the result of bad bisects? (Miklos)

       - yes (Xisco)

       - nice improvement (Miklos)

     - would you also re-tag old bugs? (Miklos)

       - up to the QA people

       - plan no mass-tagging (Xisco)

     - looks like a sensible approach (Caolan)
