Huggle is surely a "tool". There are 4 components in this product for about 40 open bugs and 1 maintainer. After experiencing filing a bug in the product, not only I know for sure that the current components hinder the ability of bug reporters to file bugs efficiently (Application, Setup, WebApp, Other?? what to choose?!) but I suspect that they also just make things harder for maintainers. In any case, unless there is some explicit clear rationale (like: we have person X who wants to watch only the "numerous" issues of part Y of the code and uses the component to that purpose), no reason to clutter https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi with the 21st open product.
No objection in 6 months and all the relevant people are in cc, can we just do it please? Takes few minutes and saves who knows how many person-hours of people needlessly scrolling and wandering about confused when searching or filing a bug.
Huggle has subcomponents which would be destroyed when making it a component under a product: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Huggle Closing as WONTFIX.

> There were no objections from the maintainer Where is the statement by the maintainer?
No objection != approval
(In reply to Nemo from comment #5) > No objection != approval No way, if a developer suddenly does not find his/her tickets anymore in the bugtracker. Been there, done that in a previous project.
No feedback from maintainer, hence likely not wanted.
hi, no feedback because maintainer never noticed there is such a bug :) Unless it's somehow necessary I would prefer to keep things as they are. In case you misplace bug, we will just put it to correct category. I already have a number of searches defined which would all break if it was moved somewhere else. Many thanks to Andre for not moving it when I didn't notice about this bug, I owe you at least 2 beers at hackaton.
I'm WONTFIXing this. I don't see an advantage by hiding Huggle (or other tools) under "Utilities" in Bugzilla so it would not be lited on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi anymore. I'd rather prefer to kill the "Utilities" product in the long run. We'd also break external URLs (enter_bug.cgi?product=Huggle). I also do not share the opinion that we need to necessarily decrease the number of products in Bugzilla.
