Hmm, okay, that's sort of a good excuse to leave the new
mozilla.dev.apps.bugzilla newsgroup as a separate entity.  It does have
a corresponding mailing list (dev-apps-bugzilla at lists.mozilla.org).
Maybe we should use that as the in-between list and leave this one as-is
instead of moving it there...

Use this list for project business and that one for customization support?
