You are completely right, except:

  * since I wrote 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/79936/ nobody 
did anything on numerous Bugzilla bugs like 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123130, 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380493 ... if you know 
about any Perl hacker who would be willing to help, these bugs could be 
a good place to start,
  * BugZappers more or less failed to do any meaningful change in the 
state of our Bugzilla (that's to the large part my failure, but that's 
how it is) and there is just too few of them,
  * this really sounds like proverbial "somebody else should do 
something" ...
