I think one of the big questions to get answered is would this actually be 
effective and useful.
- Would developers find it beneficial to seek out people in the testing pool who 
have specific hardware configurations if the tool and data were there to find them?
- Would it be a value-add to the debugging process rather than waiting for those 
with the hardware to run into the same issue, go looking for the posted relevant 
bugs, and add comments?
- Is it possible Bodhi could then also link the commenter's hardware profiles 
(for updates-testing) if they were available in FAS and the commenter was logged 
in?  Would that help?

The FAS account would need to hold an arbitrary number of hardware profiles as 
well; I've got three that would be listed for rawhide (four if you count 
multiple architecture VMs), so that needs to be handled.
