No. Returning build failure logs to the person, who requested a build,
would be sufficient. That would make trial-and-error builds possible - but
we don't do these until automated builds are available. Getting assigned
an automated bugzilla ticket for every failed build, would increase
bugzilla maintenance overhead.
Preferably, every build/rebuild is requested by a human-being and
every package has at least one developer taking care of it and keeping
it prepared during the Fedora Core Test Release cycle.
