Provide a dashboard block for issues assigned to a given user [#1299440]

Hey,

It is great that we have the "assigned" status now for core issues, this makes my life a lot easier when I need to be notified of a issue that is pending usability feedback. However I use the Dashboard as my primary navigation method, and getting to the assigned field from there is quite difficult.

Can we add a block, that lists issues that are assigned to me?

Regards,

Bojhan

In fact, it would be nice to have a block that lists issues assigned to $MAINTAINERS, so I can keep an eye on the really interesting stuff without bothering to "+1 Subscribe" to it.

That is a seperate feature request, out of scope of this one - this is just assigned to me.

But nobody assigns issues to me. (Except me, and I'm already subscribed to those.)

I am sure, we can make it configurable so you can follow a name rather than only your own. However I don't really feel its a common use case to follow maintainer subscribes, that is almost similar to following all core issues.

That would be sufficient.

There's no good reason this has to be drupal.org specific. Dashboard blocks are just core blocks. project_issue could provide a block of "issues assigned to $user". Would be a pretty trivial view. We could have a bit of custom code to make it configurable for the dashboard. See project_issue_block() and search for "homebox" for some examples of what this would entail. Patches welcome. ;)
