Like in any development team, the need to control which Bug is corrected in a given release is critical to a proper software develoment process.
Our uncovered need was to add comments automatically in our Bugzilla database when a commit is done related to a given bug.
Many solutions have already been described but at fridu.org we wanted to find a method which would not require to patch the Bugzilla distribution and which would work on distributed team isolated by firewalls.
A solution based on email was selected for it ability to distribute well over various sites.
As most cvs browser already provides an automatic hot link toward bugzilla, this small integration enables to nicely loop the software development process.
Many integration are available by the one form Scmbug seems to be active and follows Bugzilla update. Documentation can be found on Scmbug website.
