Bugzilla - New Front End

[Jochen Wiedmann]

That's certainly true. But, given the technology that he uses, there's
only one thing he might copy and that's the database schema.
AFAIK, the schema's available as a set of Perl modules only, and not
as a set of SQL commands. How about reverse engineering
the schema. Would you consider that a problem?
