It is finished. See attachment for the current rejection message. This
was actually emailed to me after I've submitted a bug 153888 crasher.

Currently it only rejects bug 153888 crashers. Feel free to add others.
The file to modify is halloween/bugzilla.gnome.org/crashers-map.txt.
What to add is explained in the file. The file is automatically
checkout out of CVS every hour.

I'll write a message to the mailing lists tomorrow explaining this and
some of the other new stuff.

Haven't done that.

Another thought was having a special keyword that could be added to a
bug. Then every day retrieve these bugs, fetch the stack traces, and
put the functions in the database (new table).
Then the code would be removed from Halloween and added to
bug-buddy-import.pl. This would also allow bug-buddy-import.pl to
handle the open bugs. Open bugs should either have a new comment, be
cc'ed or new bug that is automatically duped.

I'd want the keyword because it is way simpler for maintainers +
doesn't require CVS access. Also because putting this stuff in a
database is way better than having a huge list in a flat file.
