Comment 5 for bug 144291

This is really just a judgment among lp devs that the feature's usefulness doesn't warrant the development effort. There is no hard data for this fact, except that most bug trackers refer to bugs by number. However, I did do some poking in the data and currently less than 4% of our bugs have nicknames. If spot checking is to be believed, most of these are from bug imports.

Cheers,
