group keywords

[Benton, Kevin]

I would suggest that you consider modifying the existing keywords
database instead, adding a new cross-reference table connecting keywords
to groups.  I'd also suggest considering adding a system group called
"All Bugzilla Users" (or something like that) and link all your "global"
keywords back to that group.  Of course, that group's regexp would be .*
and would have no privileges associated with it.  If you do it that way,
then you don't have to deal with two different kinds of keywords.  You
can also make the same keyword map to multiple groups.

What's more important, is it would be a lot easier to integrate into the
tip than to have to integrate two separate methods of dealing with
keywords.  If it gets integrated into our code, then you don't have to
maintain that customization any longer. :)
