I like the simplicity of this approach.  Via an easy to remember URL
(bugs.fedoraproject.org?) we have an interface that lifts all the
knowledge from the right places in bugzilla.redhat.com.

This means we can imagine Really Good Stuff, such as:

* Float your mouse arrow over the [Login/Create Account] link and an
AJAX pop-up offers you the chance to create the account, then it
refreshes the page from that new account.  Nothing is more frustrating
than starting to fill out a bug report and realizing you aren't a logged
in user ...

* Same kind of float-up menu for doing a quick query.  Bonus - the
search terms are pre-populated from whatever the user has filled out
already.  This is because having to search for a bug before filing one
needs to be made i) much easier, and ii) pre-populated to search only
the Fedora-specific bugs v. all of the Red Hat universe.

* Repopulate the Description with something more meaningful, perhaps
gleaned from the session (cf. browser/OS info), from QA discovery tools
(scripts) we distribute to gather useful and consistent data about a
troubled system, etc.

You know ... stuff ... :)
