This creates more overhead, but I like this proposal as well. I guess
one can use python-bzutils and the like to auto-create bugs, and
remember on the Jenkins side which bug was opened for which module,
and auto-close it once the build works again.

The main issue that I see with this is that it's much harder to filter
away/opt out, so it requires some broader consensus that we want to do
this. We can still add a module blacklist if needed, though.

Thanks!

Martin
