Reasoning for this is as per bug 40497 new user accounts don't have the "editbugs" right automatically. This means that they wouldn't be able to see any of the bugs that have been shared to "editbugs". The "bz_canusewhines" group has a regex that means all users are part of that group. Therefore, I'm changing the shared to of "editbugs" to "bz_canusewhines" per Nemo's request. Logging here as I can't directly edit the searches, I need to sudo in (through Bugzilla's sudo feature) to the user and change it through their own preferences. I log which users I sudo here as I do them.
I did this for mike.lifeguard+bugs@ then found a "querysharegroup" parameter in the Bugzilla admin interface for which the description is "The name of the group of users who can share their saved searches with others." This was set to editbugs, I switched it to bz_canusewhines which will also allow bz_canusewhines users to share saved searches too.
Also done for p858snake, maxsem, jrobson, hashar, sumanah, jamesf, daniel.kinzler, mark Hershberger, reedy, roan, niklas, robla, chad and siebrand.
thanks!

I really really wish users had been notified before this happened. I saw the "You have been sudo'd in Bugzilla" e-mail and I *FREAKED* out. Especially when I saw it was for something so completely trivial as shared searches. I hate the BZ sudo feature :\
Pardon my ignorance, but what is left here to close this as resolved?

Sorry Andre, I missed this one: if you look at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=saved-searches there are still 16 bugs left as Shared To: "editbugs". I emailed all these users on the January 3 after Chad's valid comment about emailing before doing so, and most of them have done it - but these 8 users with 16 saved searches between them remain. I've sent a follow up email to these users asking them to change it themselves or if I receive no response by the 28 February, I'll presume they're happy with me changing it for them.
Done for the remaining users, but there are some similar shared bugs now such as Day old patches and Day-old patches, that could probably do with a cleanup.
I failed to get (or to notice) the previous emails (maybe they were detected as spam?) and when I got the one titled "Your account is being impersonated" I thought some thief had broken in, like Chad did in comment #4. Then I looked into my saved searches and they seem to be OK.
