Hi Paul,

Using the admin interface it is not possible to change the owner of an anonymous bug: it says "Submitted by:   None" and the field is not editable. So I am doing as you suggest and closing the task without doing anything; you can submit the bug against Savannah if you think this is desirable. Thanks!

No, that's not what I want.

Is it not possible to change the owner of an anonymous bug?

If it is, please do so as described in my comments.

If it is not, please close this case without doing anything.  However, in this case we should file a bug against Savannah to make this possible.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

I can delete the bug submission so Barry can resubmit again. Is this good enough for you? Thanks!

Hm, I'm not sure what you mean.  Lots of people submit bugs to the "make" project without being members.

Are you saying that if I submit a bug and mark it as private, even I, as the the submitter of the bug, cannot view it unless I'm a member of the group I'm submitting to?

The problem is that Barry submitted the bug while not logged in by accident, and when he submitted it he marked it private (which he wants to do I assume).  Now he can't see it anymore, of course.

My request was that someone go into the savannah database and change the "submitted by" field for that bug to be submitted by Barry, so he can see his bug.

Am I confused by how this works?

Nope, because Barry is not a member of group 'make'.  Better resubmit or simply mark it as public.

More concretely, can someone with "super database admin powers" modify the "submitted by" field for Savannah bug #30325 to be Barry instead, so he can see the "Private" bug?

Cheers!

I just tried but I can't change the "submitted by" field on bugs, even
though I'm the manager of the bug tracker.

I think you'll need to file a help request with the Savannah team: on
the "Site Help" sidebar click "Get Support" and file a case there.
