Setting bug-buddy to direct bugs to Sun is a possibility, but raises 2 issues:

  - The documentation suggests that the bugs are going to bugs.gnome.org (even 
    if they are being routed to Sun)

  - The Sun support organisation already has well defined processes and tools 
    for its customers to report Solaris bugs (and indeed all Sun product bugs).
    We're making Gnome the default desktop for Solaris, and customers will want
    and expect to report bugs through the normal Sun support interfaces, not
    through bug-buddy.  Ultimately, appropriate bugs would make their way from 
    the support organisation into bugs.gnome.org.
