Description

I don't know if it's by design or oversight, but I have no rights to modify any tickets other than by commenting. I can't change anything, other than adding comments to, in either my own tickets or tickets assigned to myself. I can't close tickets, edit the fields, etc. There's also no contact information provided anywhere to admins of this trac :(

Trac permissions are such that any individual either has the ability to edit (all) tickets or doesn't. So until that model changes, it is deliberate that we only allow project members to edit tickets.

Feature requests for Trac should be filed upstream at ​https://trac.edgewall.org/. These already exist and seem relevant:

Joshua, maybe we should be more proactive and persistent requesting that feature.

It also makes a difference in whether a bunch of macports admins keep asking about this than if a "random user who wants more rights" asks.

The problem is that those who have most influence are not affected. The tickets are link against have been open for ages. I doubt that the team will work on them unless people keep asking about them.

Clemens, Rainer, are you willing to check the following recipe?

That seems to be a fairly simple plugin. Don't have time to do this right now, but shouldn't be hard to install.

The linked plugin looks like what was requested. However, I think it would make sense to grant permission to edit all ticket fields to both the owner and the reporter. This could avoid fixing WikiFormatting so often by project members. The history of changes would be kept in any case.
