sddm product in bugzilla?

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hello!

I know that sddm upstream is not a KDE project, but still I wondered as I 
reported issue #509 and #510¹, which are clearly things where sddm regresses 
in terms of features in comparison with the former standard display manager 
for Plasma kdm, at least whether to allow reporting issues with it also in 
bugs.kde.org for Plasma users?

Or even invite the sddm project to be hosted on the KDE infrastructure while 
of course still allowing it to support other desktop environments and be 
independent in its development? I also wonder about this, cause a clear Plasma 
only component sddm-kcm is also hosted with github.com.

What is your idea about this?


I am thinking about similar lines like with the general github.com as a mirror 
discussion. Of course, I think it neither makes sense to fork sddm or hijack 
it into KDE infrastructure in case upstream developers don´t want to develop 
it there. So I clearly see this as a special case as its a separate upstream 
project.

I bet some people could be confused on how to report issues when they do not 
find the component in our bugzilla. My expectation so far was: If its Plasma, 
I report it with bugs.kde.org and it would be a bit difficult to explain to 
users, this is not Plasma, this you report there and if you go further also, 
this is also not Plasma and you need to report there, with always creating an 
account there, cause you cannot reuse the KDE one. Of course when people 
report bugs regarding sddm in bugs.kde.org upstream probably does not notice. 
But on the other hand do Plasma developers monitor sddm issues on github.com 
for those reported by Plasma users?

And the kcm is Plasma only technology. At least for this one I think hosting 
on KDE infrastructure makes some sense.
