Summary	0005212: Add an issue on behalf of someone else ?
Description	I don't know if this has been suggested before but I think it could be a nice feature improvement. Basically, when a reporter adds and an issue, if he thinks someone else should be monitoring the issue, either he could add that person in the monitoring issue section. So basically that other person does not have to go in to add their name in the monitor section. That or it could also be someone adding the issue "on behalf" on someone else. This way, both of them would receive the notifications. Does that make sense to other people ? I tried to find if this had already been reported but didn't find anything.

thraxisp 2005-02-04 16:49 reporter ~0009215	There is a sneaky way to do this: send the person a reminder. if $g_reminder_recipents_monitor_bug = ON; (the default), the recipient of the reminder is added to the monitor list. Also, you can change the reporter in the update_advanced_page (assuming you can update the issue).

There is also a plugin for MantisBT 1.2 https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/CustomReporter Closed the older issue as the newer one 0011615 contains some more information.
