Modification to Bugzilla

Hi,

I work for a company who have recently started using Bugzilla to track their
bugs. I have recently been tasked with making some changes to the way the
system operates so we can make it more flexible for ourselves.

Some of these changes require editing of the CGI.pl and other generic files.
Examples of these are:

Not allowing unregistered or non-logged in users to view the buglist or
reports.
Not allowing anyone to create a new account accept the administrator.
Only allowing a user to belong to one user group at a time.

These are only minor aspects of the project, as the end goal is to add a
regression testing system module to Bugzilla. This means adding a test for
confirming each bug has been fixed and then generating a random list of
tests for our technicians to carry out.

I have started making these modifications and have tried to observe the
developers guidelines, but ultimately would like to know if these
modifications are going to be of interest to the Bugzilla community. i.e. In
one way or another would you be interested in receiving these modifications
after completion or are they too customised for our own use?

Best Regards,
