 Mantis already provides certain relationship_types in the "metadata", for property of relations between bugs. Currently however, this feature is only for linking local bugs (in the same mantis instance). Through the plugin, we propose to add additional relationship_types and also allow the current relationship_types for external bugs (also called remote bugs / external bugs ?). The new relationship_types could represent different semantics, like: Mantis already provides certain relationship_types in the "metadata", for property of relations between bugs.

 In addition, the current relationship types used for local bugs could also be used for external bugs (parent / child, etc.) It will be the administrator's duty to define the relationship types in an understandable way, and compatible with the agents capabilities (see below). In addition, the current relationship types used for local bugs could also be used for external bugs (parent / child, etc.) It will be the administrator's duty to define the relationship types in an understandable way, and compatible with the agents capabilities (see below).
