Martin,

I'm one of the core developers of Bugzilla, and just wanted to say how 
great it is that you've started using it for the Linux kernel 
(http://bugme.osdl.org/).

Might I suggest you set up a product (or component) for people to file 
bugs against your Bugzilla installation in? This allows you to triage 
them, separate out local tweak requests from more general enhancements, 
and forward the latter on to us in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org :-) You 
might even use Bugzilla's bug moving feature for this purpose.

Also, are you aware of the 
news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.webtools newsgroup? It's 
the best place for Bugzilla advice. Particularly, I'd suggest you run 
ideas past it before implementing any sigificant changes or enhancements 
- not because you are incapable (perish the thought), but merely because 
we've found in the past that people who don't, normally do things the 
obvious and hard, rather than the less-obvious and easy way :-)

Good luck, and let us know if there's anything we can do to help. We 
love to get feedback on how we can make Bugzilla better.

Gerv
