Description Willian Mitsuda

I had a hard time to find the "Clone Query" action hidden in Operations -> Clone Query, in task list context menu.

My first try was to find some option to create from a existing query in New -> Query.

I'd like to suggest the following changes:

- In new query wizard, invert the repository selection and query type selection pages, so you first select the type, and then the repository (if necessary).
- In query type, add an "Create from existing query". From that, you can guess the repository and present the query configuration.

That is not going to work, because first page is generic and query type is contributed by bugzilla connector.

But it might be a good idea to add existing queries to the same list where repositories are shown, or use a tree and show query nodes under repositories.

Clone Query has been moved under the New menu which should make it discoverable when creating new queries.
