            Bug ID: 42070
           Summary: Add "workaround" to defined keywords list to indicate
                    that one or more workarounds are available for a bug.
           Product: WineHQ Bugzilla

          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: bugzilla-unknown

Enhancement:
Add "workaround" to the defined keyword list for open bugs, when one ore more
working workarounds have been found.

For Moderators:
The conditions for the workaround keyword to be valid would be:
- The workaround is documented in the comments or a reference is made to the
AppDB entry where the workaround is documented (or to an external source).
- The workaround is confirmed to be working at least for one person (not just
an hypothetic workaround).
- If multiple workarounds are discussed, the keyword is valid if one workaround
meets the above conditions.

Why the keyword?:
Other users affected by a bug would know that a workaround exists without
having to read all the comments to find out.

If someone has documented a workaround in the AppDB for a specific application,
and the bug is in fact affecting multiple applications, the keyword would
reduce the need to document the workaround in the AppDB for every affected app,
provided that the bug is properly referenced in the multiple AppDB entries.
