Description

related to https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/issues/2829

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2023633#c3

the timeline is the following:

  • the bug was filed in the correct component
  • the bug got a priority
  • the bugbot closed the bug as invalid, moving the component (https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/issues/2829), this is simply wrong
  • I undo-ed thhe bugbot's action, reopened the bug, moved the bug back to the correct component
  • the bugbot resets the priority field, saying that the component is changed

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2829 and the linked Bugzilla report to understand the component-change behavior and the priority reset. Trace the bugbot path that handles these metadata changes; done means undoing or reopening a component change does not incorrectly reset an existing priority.
