That's actually a pretty cool idea, except that as far as I know, wikis 
don't deal well with Docbook XML, and it would probably be non-trivial 
to convert it.

We do actually have a wiki we can use already if we want it at 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/ . Would be easy enough to create a namespace 
for Bugzilla on there.
