One has to somehow schedule the big filing, I'm not sure how well bugzilla copes with getting hit by 60 parallel bug filing requests all blocking the same bug. Filing a single bug takes several ten seconds. And js scripting is perfectly fine for me. I could probably directly post the form, too, but I found having a control view on the filled out form to work nicely. And there are some odd ends, like, Slovak Component doesn't match like all others, and there are a few bugs that shouldn't actually block.

The only tricky part would be making it use your bugzilla login, but a few HTTP libraries support using cookies.txt.

In general, I'm going to be doing this on a somewhat regular basis, I'm afraid, latest for the sign-off and verification bugs for Firefox 3, I'll need this again. At which point the lack of being able to feed an alias via the URL is going to suck. Is that a DUPE of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310532? Gerv, same problem as with Lauren, I'd have to enter 57 cryptic charcodes and make sure that I didn't forget to replace something here or there. I could really use a bugshell, I guess.

So you can fill in all the common bits, bookmark the result, then load the bookmark 50 times and fill in the changing bits. See the "Remember values as a bookmarkable template" button at the bottom of the enter_bug.cgi form.

It sounds easy enough :), just 1. click a bookmark to ‘new bug’ and then 2. click the bookmarklet, 3. fill in the country code, and 4. repeat 50 times (for each locale). ~Grauw About filing the bugs, wouldn’t it be easy to create a bookmarklet which works on a ‘new bug’ form, prompts you for the locale name and automatically fills in the fields and submits the form?
