Summary	0005896: Allow developers to let other users monitor issues
Description	It would be nice if a manager can add a user to the issue monitoring list. In addition to the showing the name of the people monitoring the issue, it would be nice to show their role (reporter, developer, etc.) The reason for this feature request is that sometime there's a specific QA person assigned to test an issue and it's nice to be able to see who's that QA when looking into an issue. Of course, it would be much better to allow multiple people to be assigned to an issue, but I think this is too much of a change.
Tags	No tags attached.

thraxisp 2005-07-08 06:31 reporter ~0010692	There is a backdoor way of accomplishing this. With the default configuration, sending a reminder to someone adds them to the monitor list.

dhaun 2008-10-11 17:12 reporter ~0019536	I was looking for this functionality since I'm used to it from Bugzilla (where you can add people to CC: at any time). In the end, sending a reminder does exactly the same - but it's not really intuitive or easy to find, IMO. If it's considered an official feature that sending a reminder to someone adds them to the monitoring list, then it would be nice if the Monitoring field also had a link (for Admins only) to the reminders dialog.
