Yeah, you see that's the point...we've discussed so many things in the
past...and the discussion gets to a point where we [me] just delete
mails/ignore threads...Sometimes it's useful to do stuff now and discuss
later...but whatever, feel free to discuss and when you have some useful
plan for bugzilla let me know.

Um, I disagree...if it helps me to query a bug just that little bit
faster then it *definitely* is useful. I've been using bugzilla a lot
for gnome-utils in the past 3 weeks and have been using the Keyword
field extensively. I am finding that it is becoming the most useful part
of a bugzilla query. So I would like to see some 'discussion' on
creating a list of keywords for use in bugzilla...but I'm not counting
on that discussion happening [1]

[1] I'd quite like to see GNOME 2.0 out before
