Bug Description

I just tried out gtg from trunk and the bugzilla plugin works well. I have a few requests for enhancements to it though:

1. Provide configuration option to enable/disable adding to bug component tag by default
2. Provide configuration option to let user specify a tag to be used for bugzilla tasks

The rationale is this:
I have multiple bugs for multiple components over multiple bugzillas. If each one of these start creating a tag for itself, my tag bar will become too cluttered and lose its functionality completely. It'd be more preferable to me to have a single tag, say "bugs" and let all of these aggregate under it.

I think this option will give users the chance to use their own work flows and organize stuff as it suits them. A "bugz" tag for all my bugs will suit me a lot more than a myriad of tags with one or two bugs under each.

What do you folks think? :)

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur

2. Provide configuration option to let user specify a set of tags to be used for bugzilla tasks

(set of tags, rather than a tag)

Does this mean to allow user to determine whether give a tag to a bug?

Besides this, how about to allow user to select one from set of a
bug's attributes also, such as component, product or someone else.
Then, when a bug's information is retrieved from a related Bugzilla
service, several tags are attached to it according to user's
preference.

Yes. That's the idea: to let the user determine whether to give a tag,
and what tag (let him choose between a default component/product etc.,
or a custom tag).

That could be added too. I think this will slightly be overkill, but I
can see users using this feature to tag stuff with bug statuses
"ASSIGNED", "NEW" etc. Could be useful, yes :)
