Making It Easier To Start Working On Bugzilla

I don't think that making a distinction between a newbie and an 
experienced developer is a good idea when deciding to give a r+ or a r-. 
Either it worths a r+ or it doesn't. What I do when I review a newbie's 
patch is to give much more information on how to fix the patch 
correctly, to avoid him to resubmit again and again. For experienced 
developers, I only say the patch doesn't work and only briefly explain 
why, without indicating on how to fix it.

I think that's the best way to learn Perl and our Bugzilla-specific 
conventions.
