Hello everyone,                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I want to briefly introduce myself. I am a Red Hat employee working on ABRT[1].                                                                                                                                      
We have recently added support for CentOS on the ABRT server[2] and we would                                                                                                                                         
like continue in these integration efforts.                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
First of all, I want to submit a pair of patches improving ABRT's UX on CentOS:                                                                                                                                      
- do not offer users to report to Red Hat Portal                                                                                                                                                                     
- offer users to send an email to upstream                                                                                                                                                                           
- stop wasting of resources by running sos, because its output is useless for                                                                                                                                        
  CentOS users                                                                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
In the near future, we would like to integrate ABRT with CentOS Bug Tracker in                                                                                                                                       
the same way as ABRT integrates with Red Hat Bugzilla[3]. We are done with the                                                                                                                                       
analysis phase[4] and, now, we are working on a testsuite[5].                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
Unfortunately, MantisBT misses more advanced searching what prevents us from
implementing a tool similar to one we have for Bugzilla. At least we need to
search by DUPHASH (an unique identifier of a crash, something like tag).

Would you be willing to run a MantisBT plugin adding the things we need, if we
develop it?
