I was against having another bugzilla on the grounds that Red Hat
doesn't even have one full time bugzilla hacker (last time this came up.
I don't know about now.)  If we have some community members who are
willing to maintain and hack on a fedora bugzilla then that changes my
take on things.  It would be great to have better bugzilla integration
and if Fedora was part of driving development of that it would be even
better.
