Description Nathan Ridge CLA 2019-04-16 23:43:12 EDT 
The Mozilla folks have released an interesting tool called BugBug [1], which uses machine learning to make an educated guess as to what is the right product and component for newly filed bugs (among other bug classification tasks), using existing bugs as a training set.

Details can be found in this article:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/04/teaching-machines-to-triage-firefox-bugs/

The article ends with:

"We also encourage other organizations to adopt BugBug. If you use Bugzilla, adopting it will be very easy"

Eclipse is a significant user of Bugzilla. We could prove to be a valuable early adopter of this tool, and at the same time it could make our Bugzilla a more efficient tool for committers and contributors.

Sounds like a good idea.  Let's raise awareness of this bug and see what folks think.

We won't be investing any resources into improving Bugzilla, as we encourage projects to use GitHub and Eclipse GitLab (https://gitlab.eclipse.org).

Please see: Shutdown this bugzilla instance.
