Bz Kanban Board

About

This allows you to visualize your Bugzilla product milestones with a Kanban inspired board.

The goal is to compliment an existing Bugzilla workflow, so the board columns represent the bug statuses and the cards represent the bugs. Cards can be opened to view comments or add a new comment. Cards can be dragged from one column to another to change the bug status.

It is implemented as a single-page application using Ajax with the Bugzilla 5 server REST API.
