Short answer, yes, please.
One can certainly clear up the issue within the bug without having any
further bugzilla access, right?
I don't know how to fool with bugzilla ACLs, that's something we can
discuss. I -think- that any user can at least add information to a bug,
such as a patch or, better yet, a pointer to the fact that it is fixed
in CVS.
When fixing in CVS, I highly recommend referring to the specific
bugzilla number in the CVS commit message. This ties together the two
disparate pieces. I'll put this in the Doc Guide to-add list.
I've been fixing a couple tidbits here and there. In my CVS commit
message I make sure I have, on a separate line (and sometimes this will
be the whole of the message if the bug is self-explanatory):
Fix bug #123456
It probably doesn't matter what text people use, but having a
number/pound sign "#" before the bug is a good thing. I've seen people
do some cool automagical things with CVS commit messages and Perl, and
having a marker for the bug number definitely helps.
