On the other hand, none of the bugzilla changes from Red Hat seems to be
published anywhere and other than a small number of people inside Red
Hat, we can't as a community make changes and even if we can, there are
a number of places where there is a conflict between RHEL workflows and
Fedora's.  We cannot continuously avoid facing that question.  Even with
the additional maintenance burden on the part of Fedora infrastructure
team, we have opted to separate things over time c.f. build systems,
mailing lists et all.  The only major thing left is bugzilla.

I would suggest proposing those changes you have in mind to dkl,  There
is a internal bugzilla list.
