Reset assignee per bug 37789

http://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/extensions/ doesn't list it, as it's only available for bmo itself at http://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/4.2/files/head:/extensions/ComponentWatching/ . Not sure how bmo specific it is.

I've copied http://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/4.2/files/head:/extensions/ComponentWatching/ into a local 4.2.4 installation and it seems to work.
It creates a "Component Watching" tab on userprefs.cgi.
This would make the cumbersome "ask an admin to put you into the default CC you of component X" mood.

I've copied
http://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/4.2/files/head:/extensions/ComponentWatching/ into a
local 4.2.4 installation and it seems to work.
It creates a "Component Watching" tab on userprefs.cgi.
This would make the cumbersome "ask an admin to put you into the default CC you
of component X" mood.

Aside from making that moot, it would also make it a lot easier to disable later (by not being stuck on CC for all bugs created before disabling it), assuming it doesn't use CC underneath.

In short:
0) bzr co bzr://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/4.2 bugzilla-bmo42

1. cd bugzilla-bmo42/
2. make extensions/ComponentWatching/template/en/default/hook/account/prefs/prefs-tabs.html.tmpl:11 say "label => "Component Watching (beta)"," instead of "label => "Component Watching","
3. cp /extensions/ComponentWatching/ root@kaulen:/srv/org/wikimedia/bugzilla/extensions/
4. /srv/org/wikimedia/bugzilla/checksetup.pl
5. Profit!

Kaulen needs bzr installing first ;)

Played with ComponentWatching in a local Bugzilla this morning, dropping some stuff for better understanding:

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652400 introduced a new (fifth) column which would appear under https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email just called "Component". For me it was empty by default, so if we install this extension we'd have to document this.

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684701 added another field to component preferences which would appear under https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/editcomponents.cgi?action=edit&product=FOO&component=BAR , see https://bug684701.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=598151

Note that this extension is not upstreamed (it's bugzilla.mozilla.org only!).
Plus I still need to play a bit more with it to check that it completely respects rights (e.g. watching Bugzilla components with access restricted via group permissions).

Long term: Need to push Mozilla into upstreaming their bmo extension. That's https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76794

Tried to deploy bzr://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/4.2/extensions/ComponentWatching/ on boogs.wmflabs.org, but running checksetup.pl triggers:

Would love to check the "components" table for the "watch_user" column in the "bugs" database (to see where this is coming from), and to be on the safe side also run
SELECT constraint_name, table_name FROM information_schema.table_constraints
WHERE constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY' AND table_schema = DATABASE() ORDER BY
constraint_name;
but
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;

seems to not offer me the bugs database (and cannot log in as root).
