restrict_reporter option

[vincentb1981@…]

As for the owner (when restrict_owner = true), it would be nice to be able to select the value of the 'reporter' field from a dropdown list.

This option should come along with a permission setting allowing only a given set of users to report tickets on 'behalf' of other users.

Along the dropdown list, the free input field should remain (useful for anonymous/unregistered users).

Multiple reporters might be allowed, however this would be redundant with Cc. Literature: Existing dropdown list for 'Owner': TracTickets#Assign-toasDrop-DownList

Proposed fullname list (in addition to usernames): #3807

Proposed multiple owner feature: #918

I'm not sure how useful this would be. Do you have a concrete use case?

[vincentb1981@…]

We use it as an issue tracker for our sysadmin management: a user tells us, in the real life (she/he comes in the office or we meet the user in the corridor ;-), not trough Trac), she/he has an issue then I fill for her/him a Ticket.

The point is we'd like to associate the user as a reporter to this ticket. We don't have an easy way to guess the trac username of the user. Consequently, a dropdown list could be really helpful (for admins).

Maybe an item for FieldRefactoring (somehow related to #4374 and #4549).
