Primarily a mathematics tutor.
I'd like to help out with small bugs primarily - get to know the code
before I work on anything huge.
I did a lot of coding through high school and college, but haven't touched
it in a few years. I'm looking to get back in the swing of things by
helping out.

I've taken a look at the "good for beginners" list of bugs, and I wanted to
ask a couple of questions about bug 464688. Right now the code in
Bugzilla::Object has a validate time function, which I could pretty easily
modify to allow for time in HH:MM format, but I don't know where in the
greater code that function is being called - Would it be better to accept
that time as is or to convert it to decimal time? It would be a smaller
patch if I just accept the HH:MM format, but if there are functions that
take the time that has been validated and assume it's in the current
format(possibly for calculating total time on a project or sorting bugs by
time spent), that would lead to more bugs. Are there such functions?

Thank you,
Jay Harman
