What

Along with Apple recently announcing changes to bug report data retention, a new feature was added to the Bug Reporter interface to allow downloading either an HTML page or JSON file containing all bugs you've filed.

How

It would be pretty neat if open radar supported importing at least the JSON bug report data files. It looks like there's enough data in them (sample) to fill in the key fields. Entries could be created/updated initially with the data from these files and manually edited afterwards to fill in missing fields.

Why

There main benefit to this feature would be streamlining the process for adding already-filed bugs to OpenRadar or adding Apple's updates to existing bugs to the tracker.

Considerations

  1. Redaction. There may be confidential data/content in the bug report dumps that we don't want to upload to OpenRadar. Filtering should be done somewhere in the process (before upload or during processing).
  2. Privacy. Apple will be removing bug originator data from bug reports meeting certain criteria (see linked article). The privacy concerns in OpenRadar are less severe since attachments/system logs aren't included and the originator field can be a pseudonym, but privacy is worth thinking about when developing this feature.
