I didn't really mean those questions for you, but rather, they're
somewhat rhetorical. The impression I'm getting is that Bugzilla is
some kind of mammoth app that requires a huge investment of resources to
run & maintain. I thought it was just an enterprise-level bug tracker.
It's deployed quite widely.

It is my sincere hope that this thread will bring the "could we" stage
just a little bit closer by getting more eyes on it and more minds
engaged in it.
