Hiyas,
I will eventually want to use a bugzilla account for a certain service[0]. To make it easier for someone else to reclaim this account in case i vanish, I would like to use a Fedora mail alias for this.
Is there some type of bot account type in FAS that I can use to create the additional mail alias or some other procedure for this?

What would you like the alias to be, and where would you like the email to go to?

How about the alias "upstream-release-monitoring"? Please forward it to "cnucnu.fedora till name" with '@' and '.' added.
I'd personally prefer to make a mailing list for this, rather than put the point of failure on a single person (again).
Also, have you filed an RFR to get this hosted in Fedora?

If it really makes sense, why not. But I do not see any advantages in this. If I become MIA, then someone from Fedora Infrastructure can just change the target of the alias to get the e-mail addresses, that are send there. Nevertheless I am not quite sure, if someone even needs to receive these e- mails, because they are probably only bugzilla notification mails. In case there is an mailinglist, then it needs to be made sure that only trusted people can join it, because they all can recover the bugzilla password.

I do not yet have anything ready that can be hosted.

Btw. I just remembered which bot bugzilla account already exists: ftbfs - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/ftbfs There seems to be no mailing list involved, too.
Nevertheless, what is the next step for this? Has this to be discussed on some meeting or should I file a ticket somewhere?

Nah, I don't much care if no one cares to see the mail. ftbfs goes to /dev/null pretty much (actually to ftbfs@domsch.com). I can create the requested alias, and you can create a bugzilla account with it. It needs no special permissions to file bugs (which is all it should be doing).

Unfortunately I seem to need some special permissions, because I would like to file the bugs with status "ASSIGNED" and with Keywords "FutureFeature", because this is what the triage SIG wanted for the old FEVer bugs. If I try to set the status from "NEW" to "ASSGINED" after the bug is created, I get an error that the account does not have the necessary permissions. I also specified both when I created the bug, but both were silently not set.
The first bug I created is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512384
So I guess I need a seperate FAS account for this and apply for fedorabugs or is there some other way to do this? The ftbfs bugzilla account is capable of changing the status iirc.
Regards Till
My FTBFS bugzilla account is in the 'editbugs' group in bugzilla so it can set the blocked/dependson lists. That may also be necessary to change them to ASSIGNED. You have to first file the bug as NEW, then modify it to be ASSIGNED (and set nomail=1 to avoid sending the mail on this act).

Okay, I've taken care of this in FAS. It should sync to bugzilla within the hour. If not, let me know.

According to the bugzilla preferences[0], the upstream-release-monitoring account still does not have any permissions.

I just checked again and the permissions are now there. Strangely it is still not possible to create new bugs with status "ASSIGNED". It now returns an exception: <Fault 32000: 'You are not allowed to file new bugs with the\n ASSIGNED status.'> Previously it was silently ignored. Setting them to ASSIGNED afterwards is now possible and also reporting them with the FutureFeature keyword.

Excellent. I flipped a few bits manually this morning. Let me know if you have further problems.

It is now possible to directly create bugs with state ASSIGNED: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516208

The alias is created - it's just a mail alias, not a full FAS account. You'll have to make a Bugzilla account with that mail address, and that's it! :). It may take up to 30 minutes to be live, though.

The trick is, you can't create a bugzilla account with @fedoraproject.org directly for some reason. Maybe this is fixed. I had to create a bugzilla account with another email address, then request of the bugzilla administrators to change the email address for the account.

Thank you both, I'll report back, whether or not it worked.

Hi, are you talking about a restriction in bugzilla, or the current limitation where FAS doesn't assign bugzilla permissions to accounts that don't match the email address given in FAS?
If it's the former, hopefully that's fixed now - I think I've created an @fedoraproject.org account once at some point in the past 2 years or so :-)
Thanks, Ricky

I was able to create the bugzilla account using the @fpo address.
