I think this is great work, and it's too bad it ends up behind closed 
doors only because of the difficulty to integrate it.

I think you would render a great service to everybody by providing it as 
a fork.

fork is an ugly word, but the truth is you already have that fork, and 
in addition to being a fork, nobody can see it. So it would be a 
positive move to make it a public fork instead of a private one.

Then, there would be a chance that someone else does the ugly work 
needed to integrate it, or at least that bugzilla gets some of it's most 
interesting/easy to integrate elements.
