Have freedomsponsors.org automatically update trac tickets #58

Open zooko opened 11 years ago

zooko commented 11 years ago

I wish that when a freedomsponsors.org ticket, like this one: http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/41/double-encoding-in-html-in-file-names-in-wui would automatically update the upstream ticket, like this one: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1143 .

Launchpad has such a capability, and the implementation is open source:

See also this matrix of what else launchpad knows how to integrate with. It is, as far as I know, all open source so you should be able to borrow ideas and code freely from here:

It's worth noting that this feature might not be welcome in some issue trackers. For example, I got a comment removed from Maven's MNG-624. So a comment "bot" like this would probably be banned from Maven JIRA. But things could be different with Jenkins for example.

The point, we need to consider implementing a way for the issue tracker admin to block this behaviour if they want. Better yet, make it opt in, like Github integration
