How do you delete a bug report in Bugzilla?
Stephen Brennan
bugs at their discretion.
How can this be done?
I have tried moving too a product called Trash, however this fails
because the reporter can still see the bug.

Are you sure there is no other way? This seems very tedious.
What if you put some bug reports in simply to test the bugzilla setup.
To delete them you have to create another product component move them to
this component and then delete the component. Surely it would be more
convenient and still safe enough to have a special group with the
permission to delete a bug report. A special warning message for this
operation would be appropriate of course.

Yes, that would be fine. If you'd like to implement it and
attach it to a bug somewhere (I imagine there's already a bug filed for
this) following our development guidelines, we'd probably accept such a
patch.
The guide for contributors is here:

I wouldn't mind having a go at it. I am a bit scratchy on perl and am
not familiar with the structure of the Bugzilla database or the Bugzilla
source code. If you can, please give me some tips to get started, so I
know what I should modify what I shouldn't modify and existing code
which will already do most of what is needed. (ie. Obviously there is
already code to delete an entire bug and code to restrict functions to
specific group of users. - It appears there are just a few things that
need to be done to bring these things together)

I would look at what editcomponents.cgi does to delete bugs,
and maybe modularize that code so it can be re-used in process_bug.cgi.
Then you'd just need some link to show up in the bug edit form, which
is in template/en/default/bug/edit.html.tmpl.
Anything else you can ask about in IRC, as described here:

It seems to me that it would be more consistent to have a 'delete'
'Action' on the right of a bug search result than having a delete option
when editing the bug.

I'd discuss it in whatever bug you find or file.
