Yes, this is one of our highest priorities. I think this (and building
infrastructure for external contributors) has to take precedence over
new features and packages to a large extent, especially once Cambridge
is released.

This will get resolved, just hang in there.

I'd like to see someone external contribute this (once we have
the web site back and some other basics).

Newer versions of bugzilla may have this feature - I remember seeing
something like it on bugzilla.mozilla.org.

That seems like a useful idea. I don't know how hard it would be
(there are mirrors, scripts, etc. to think about).

This is a good idea, we just need someone to do it. I think we need to
find a speaker of each language to moderate/own the mailing list.  We
may have some people willing inside Red Hat; I don't know if we are
set up to allow external list owners on listman.redhat.com or not.
