Then we need to try and get infrastructure into place to make it not be a
lot more work. Can you help me figure out exactly where the more work might
be? Multiple bugzilla entries will be a bit more work, but because of the
clone bug feature, I don't think it's a lot more. And there's a little more
work on the mail announcement front, but that's mostly templates and cutting
and pasting anyway. 

I know any amount of added work can be a *lot* when it's a short-staffed
volunteer project, but I'm really a strong believer in the rewards of this
one.

And now we'll have somewhere to point them. :)

Now, if one update is really basically available but the others aren't, it's
some amount of work to look through a bug's history and figure that out. I
think that simplifying that will make it easier to bring more people into
working on QA.
