Add support for tracking bugs on remote bug trackers
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Canonical's Launchpad has a really handy feature where you can associate a bug with another on an external tracker. The status of the bug is reflected on the local bug. You can see this feature in action here. With more info on 'bug watches' on the Launchpad blog and Ubuntu wiki. Changes to the remote bug are reflected locally. This is really handy for a number of workflows, particularly when a product or projects involves third party open-source libraries and bugs are found. I propose that Phabricator's Maniphest would benefit from this functionality.

Generically, this is our Doorkeeper product. In the meantime you can use Custom Fields to track external URLs if needed.

I don't see a little prototype bomb next to Doorkeeper but there is no /doorkeeper to do anything with and it's not on phabricator.org. Is it something that people should use today?

It doesn't exist in any usable form.

That is, I think JIRA and Asana connectors use some portions of it, but it's not for public use.

T5462 also has some additional hints on integration with external trackers.

Doorkeeper is more infrastructure than a real application. See also T3906. None of this is extensible right now.
