I have asked and been granted greater powers on bugzilla.  There are 
features which we don't use yet but which could aid in establishing a 
sane workflow while rendering unnecessary the current clutches and 
ad-hoc fixes.

Bugzilla will be upgraded soon and no structural changes will be made 
until that is completed.  But that leaves us some good time to think 
about how this should be enhanced.

Things I'd like to see
* confirmation flags
* better documentation of workflow status (need to define it first)
* assigning bugs (or if you prefer "Hey, please take a look")
* link to some bug searches like the ones I send about 5 minutes ago
   on the entry page
* entry page clean-up (why two search fields?)
* removal of dead stuff (ZaurusKernel, Familiar)

Please add to the list.  The most important point is the second.  That 
is what we should discuss.
