So with 2.17.4, is there an intended way to handle multiple clients
(multiple client groups) submitting bugs for a given product?

Ideally members of one client group shoudn't be able to see bugs
submitted by other clients (unless the admin takes some kind of
action), and members of a given client group couldn't accidentally or
intentionally submit a public bug.

It seems like you can almost get that with one group per client,
makeproductgroups, useentrygroupdefault, and some suitable settings,
but a member of a client group can still uncheck their group when
submitting a bug, presumably making the bug public.

Feel free to point me at the docs if I've overlooked any.

Thanks
