The private reports should probably go the bugzilla.novell.com.

We also need to update Evolution README, news and redirect people going
to bugzilla.ximian.com to the correct new site.

Are we going to add the bugs to b.g.o with a standard offset, ie 200000
so that we can update the evolution changelogs and NEWS easily to match
the new location?  This assumes we are moving closed bugs as well.

I would think the reports would be handy for GNOME as well if they code
can be made generic enough.
