Some people like to use SSL/TLS for the sake of it, IRC over SSL, Jabber
over SSL... (I do run my pop3 over SSL but thats not bad, shush =)). I
dont think that https would bring any real benefits, afterall, if i
remember rightly when you login Bugzilla does a GET request with your
password so anyone looking over your shoulder can see that. I use the
Debian BTS more than I use Bugzillas, and as you probably know there is
*no* authentication. We often have our bug reports being closed by spam
from bots who have spidered the site.

Anyway, cheers.
