==What kind of style should I use for templatization?==
Gerv and Myk suggest a 2-space indent,
with embedded code sections on their own line,
in line with outer tags. Like this:
<pre>
<fred>
[% IF foo %]
  <bar>
  [% FOREACH x = barney %]
    <tr>
      <td>
        [% x %]
      </td>
    <tr>
  [% END %]
[% END %]
</fred>
</pre>
Myk also recommends you turn on PRE_CHOMP in the template initialization
to prevent bloating of HTML with unnecessary whitespace.
Please note that many have differing opinions on this subject,
and the existing templates in Bugzilla espouse both this and a 4-space style.
Either is acceptable; the above is preferred.
== How can I change the default priority to a null value? For instance, have the default priority be "---"  instead of "P2"?==
This is well-documented in
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49862 bug 49862].
Ultimately, it's as easy as adding the "---" priority field
to your localconfig file in the appropriate area, re-running checksetup.pl,
and then changing the default priority in your browser using '''editparams.cgi'''.
==What's the best way to submit patches? What guidelines should I follow?==
#Enter a bug into bugzilla.mozilla.org for the "[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla Bugzilla]" product.
#Upload your patch as a unified diff (having used "diff -u" against the current sources checked out of CVS), or new source file by clicking "Create a new attachment" link on the bug page you've just created, and include any descriptions of database changes you may make, into the bug ID you submitted in step #1. Be sure and click the "Patch" checkbox to indicate the text you are sending is a patch!
#Announce your patch and the associated URL (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=XXXXXX) for discussion in the newsgroup (mozilla.support.bugzilla on the news.mozilla.org news-server). You'll get a really good, fairly immediate reaction to the implications of your patch, which will also give us an idea how well-received the change would be.
#If it passes muster with minimal modification, the person to whom the bug is assigned in Bugzilla is responsible for seeing the patch is checked into CVS.
#Bask in the glory of the fact that you helped write the most successful open-source bug-tracking software on the planet :)
