Hi Parin,

Thanks for your quick response. I've pushed configurable Bugzilla
plugin branch several months ago. That allows users to define
individual Bugzilla services, such as Red Hat Bugzilla, GNOME
Bugzilla, etc. However, just today when I checked mail, saw suggestion
from Izidor about the possible implementation as a synchronization
service. This lets me reconsider my original understand to the bugs
including https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/494967.

Two questions here
https://code.launchpad.net/~qcxhome/gtg/configurable-bugzilla-plugin/+merge/178454
, could u please also take a look at this?

I'm going to try to rewrite Bugzilla plugin as a synchronization
service. So far, no concrete schedule on this plan. But, might start
soon I think. Keep in touch.

Regards,
Chenxiong Qi

It works, but always feel not good enough. In this way, another dependency is required, and user only know what happened, when notification has been enabled in user's desktop, whichever KDE or GNOME. In the meanwhile, an internal notification can give user uniform experience directly. Expect to get some guide from you all. Thanks!
