Sure, it's up to the board to decide whether to accept this as a Fedora
Project. We'll be running tests, releasing code, and hopefully writing
new stuff all through the rest of the FC6 development cycle either way.

I agree. I definitely want to see this work. I'm trying to put together
some bugzilla tools to make this easier on myself and/or whoever ends up
driving the Bug Bus in the future.

Yeah, there's plenty of work to be done here. Right now I feel like
Bugzilla improvements and the BugZappers revival are so closely linked
that they could start out as two parts of the same project, but in the
future I could see the Bugzilla-related tools being an offshoot project
from BugZappers.
