Bugzilla Comments should have the authors nickname too
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Its difficult to find the nickname of people who comment for bugs in IRC like #wikimedia and #wikimedia-dev.
Some of the popular other bugzillas are having the name in brackets like
FooBar(:foo)
This would be a lot helpful for starters to catch up with developers on IRC.

I was wrong. No other bugzillas have that feature. But it would be great,if we had that, like
FooBar(:nick) or
FooBar[:nick]

Everybody is free to edit their the "Your real name" field in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=account and add such information (that's how it is also done in bugzilla.mozilla.org).
Nothing that requires any code changes, hence closing as WORKSFORME.
