How to add new Bugzilla instance?

[Andre Klapper]

Hi,

is there any guide available explaining how to add another Bugzilla
instance to bugzilla-triage-scripts?
I've grep'ed and read the code a bit but it's still unclear to me what I
have to do / what to create to get bugzilla.whatever.com supported.
Steps welcome.

Thanks,
andre

I guess, file me an issue in the tracker. If you want to do it yourself 
search for name of some bugzilla or its domain (gnome.org could be 
good). When I did it here, I've got:

jakoubek:bugzilla-triage$

So, it should be good to walk through all those files, find out why 
bugzilla.gnome.org is mentioned and add your particular instance. And 
then it is just testing and fixing whatever bugs you find, or places 
where we expected that "THINGS ARE DONE THIS WAY", although they don't 
have to be.

Other way would be to file me an issue in the Tracker, and I would 
eventually do something about it. The first method is certainly faster 
(and I think it shouldn't take more than one evening hacking session). 
But I would be curious anyway, so please file that ticket even though 
you would fix it yourself.

Best,
