Bugzilla bot account / Fedora mail alias

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

My FTBFS bugzilla account is in the 'editbugs' group in bugzilla so it
can set the blocked/dependson lists.  That may also be necessary to
change them to ASSIGNED.  You have to first file the bug as NEW, then
modify it to be ASSIGNED (and set nomail=1 to avoid sending the mail on
this act).

Unfortunately I seem to need some special permissions, because I would
like to file the bugs with status "ASSIGNED" and with Keywords
"FutureFeature", because this is what the triage SIG wanted for the old
FEVer bugs. If I try to set the status from "NEW" to "ASSGINED" after
the bug is created, I get an error that the account does not have the
necessary permissions. I also specified both when I created the bug, but
both were silently not set.

The first bug I created is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512384

So I guess I need a seperate FAS account for this and apply for
fedorabugs or is there some other way to do this? The ftbfs bugzilla
account is capable of changing the status iirc.
