If possible, wikibugs should use the real name field instead of the first part of the e-mail address when reporting bug changes. For example, this: <wikibugs> (mod) Can't link to [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]] any more - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18828 +comment (herd) would become this: <wikibugs> (mod) Can't link to [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]] any more - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18828 +comment (Splarka) Seems much more useful and identifiable to use real names over e-mail address parts.
Andrew, wanna take a peek at this some time? :D
Annoyingly, bugzilla doesn't provide this information in a way that's machine-readable without horrible and fragile regexes.
(Batch change) These are low-priority miniprojects that I can mop up at some point when I'm doing general code work as opposed to working on a specific projects.
I have posted a similar issue, bug 23159, which if resolved, may very well clear this one up. If someone wants to take a look at that, maybe you can hit 2 bugs in one go. Since the bot uses email prefixes, if we change the login to work as Wiki* would, i.e, assigning a real name or username instead of email as your login, the bot would pick that up instead I believe.

Resolving this bug *might* benefit me the most as I have "admin" as my email prefix. I would therefore be listed as "admin" in #mediawiki, which makes me a little weird.
Created attachment 8617 [details] Modify wikibugs to use "real name" instead of e-mail prefix when possible There's apparently a "X-Bugzilla-Who" header sent with every e-mail, so grabbing just the e-mail address is fairly reliable now. Getting the real name still requires regex hackery, but seems fairly straightforward.

Created attachment 8805 [details] Untested patch to fix the "real name" issue without using so much regex hackery Re-opening this. The regex currently in use is causing strangeness such as "Brion Vibber <brio". This is broken. I don't see any reason to try to do fancy lookahead magic here any longer. It was necessary when X-Bugzilla-Who wasn't used/available, but with that, it's much more reliable to try to grab only the real name _or_ use the first part of the e-mail address. Untested patch against r92606 attached.

Thanks Daniel!
This is still happening: <wikibugs> (NEW) Wikipedia and other site logos pixelated, blurry on high-resolution screens - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/35337 normal; Wikimedia: Site logos; (brion) <wikibugs> (mod) High-density display issues tracking bug (Android hdpi & xhdpi, iPhone Retina display) - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32101 (Brion Vibber)

This is impossible to do without rewriting wikibugs to use a sane API instead of parsing bugmail, as it doesn't include the reporter's full name when a new bug is submitted. (Alternatively, we could hack bugmail to include it.)

Fixed in pywikibugs.
