The "Platform" field is not very obvious in the bugzilla UI and doesn't show up at all in bugzilla-generated emails, ChangeLogs, or commit messages.  Many of our bugs are filed via tools like webkit-patch or sheriffbot which could be taught about the Platform entry, but doing so would decrease the usability of the tools and I suspect many people would get it wrong.


Additionally, platform field isn't the same as a prefix. A prefix promises that there are no changes in cross platform code, suggesting that core developers can safely skip the bug in review queue.

Cross-platform changes for platform specific bugs are sometimes valid, but should get more scrutiny. Dave Levin filed a bug about this today, <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69462> check-webkit-style: Should catch when folks mistakenly put [chromium], etc. in a bug title.
