And then re-reading all of them again to figure out the good v. the bad?
That may be something we have to swallow, but it's not a fun one.

This would mean that (effectively) many maintainers would have to mark
their own bugs twice in order to seem them in useful queries. That's not
really going to be the most popular approach.

That would be great.

I left that at 'putting it off until after I get back.' :/ I'm looking
at the code right now. The code we use at Ximian will be easy to make
/run/... the only problem is that we've changed the DB format enough
that I need to verify/modify the SQL used quite a bit, probably. I'll
try to tackle that before I leave the office (just the SQL correction,
not the installation/setup yet) and see where we are.

That would rule. I was afraid that with 'employment' we'd mostly lost
you completely :)
