No clue.  We should probably find out.

Bugzilla 2.0 was actually the first thing Netscape open-sourced, very 
shortly before Mozilla itself in September 1998.

Bugzilla 1.x was written in Tcl.  2.0 was the port to Perl because they 
thought people would be more likely to contribute to it that way.


I really want to get a history page up on the web site.  We should get a 
bunch of this stuff written down while the people who made that history 
can still be contacted. :)  (I didn't come on the scene until Bugzilla 
2.9 or so)
