+      At any time, a summary of the time spent by developers on bugs is
+      accessible either from bug lists when clicking the <quote>Time Summary</quote>
+      button or from individual bugs when clicking the <quote>Summarize time</quote>
+      link in the time tracking table. The <filename>summarize_time.cgi</filename>
+      page lets you view this information either per developer or per bug,
+      and can be split on a month basis to have greater details on how time
+      is spent by developers.

+      As soon as a bug is marked as RESOLVED, the remaining time expected
+      to fix the bug is set to zero. This lets QA people set it again for
+      their own usage, and it will be set to zero again when the bug will
+      be marked as CLOSED.
