David,

  It seems that there is a set of features that such systems would need 
that are useful to a number of Bugzilla sites.  Rather than starting by 
forking, why not prepare a list of features needed that are not in 
Bugzilla today?  After examining the list, we may find that there is a 
set of features that make sense for both Bugzilla and your new project 
and should be done in common code.  After that analysis, you can still 
decide to stay merged, fork, or track.
