introducing Trac_Assigner: a script to automatically assign tickets to their port maintainer

[Eric Le Lay]

Hello,

I've written a program to assign tickets in trac [1].
I've only tested it on 1 ticket because I'm not sure if there is a
consensus to use such a tool.

It would be helpful for users like me who don't poll/monitor bug
reports for tickets on their ports to answer more quickly. It would also
lighten the burden of other members of the projects who assign me
tickets manually.

This is a perl script parsing the results of an advanced query,
fetching the form for each ticket to modify and posting to the web
interface, no special hook is used.

It would be ideally run every day like this:
sudo port sync
./trac_assigner.pl handle at macports.org password_of_handle

Its dependencies are p5-libwww-perl p5-html-tree p5-expect
all available through macports.

Cheers,
Eric
