Which brings us to the bigger question how to get GNOME Bugzilla from
3.4 to 4.2. I don't even know if somebody cares to check and backports
security upgrades to GNOME Bugzilla.
IIRC, when upgrading from 2.20 to 3.4 we received gracious sponsoring by
Canonical to pay Max for this task.
If nobody has plans to try, this might be something to defer to the
foundation board in order to organize sponsoring?

I guess I don't need to copy and paste all improvements from the last
three upstream release notes to explain why I push for upgrading.
