Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2016-07-20 13:45:06 UTC
Bugs about ebuilds should follow the scheme [1]
[name overlay] CATEGORY/PKG(-version(-revision)) - {problem description}/{action}

Many (new) users do not know about this handy rule. There are many bugs which are rewritten by bug wranglers afterwards. This consumes time which could be used for other things. 
I suggest to place the naming scheme on a prominent place in the bugzilla front end to reduce the number of bad subject lines. (Perhaps in the tooltip and the introduction text?)

We can use the text field and/or the tooltip.

Idea by Leio: Use placeholder HTML attribute

probably in template/en/default/bug/field.html.tmpl, you'll need to check that field.name == 'short_desc'
