The Bugzilla-based solution has some of the advantages of the MediaWiki-based solution. We may be able to implement it more quickly than something native to Gerrit because we're already working on Bugzilla integration, and we get features like queries for free, as well as the minor convenience of not having to have a new database table or two to manage.
The problem at this point is that the gerrit-plugin interface is rather new, and that shows at various ends:
- It's not possible to add GUI elements from a plugin.
- Plugins cannot add their own database tables through gerrit.
[...]
So whatever we could possibly get into upstream gerrit, we should really try to get into upstream and not put into the plugin.
But thinking about whether gerrit or bugzilla would be the correct place to store those tags ... It seems to me that the tags are not really tied to issues or changes, but rather to commits... Wouldn't "git notes" be a good match [1]?
