Wow.  This looks really great.  The new layout for the bug pages looks a 
lot cleaner than the old one.  Having the bug summary in the window 
title is also a big improvement.

Anyone who has trouble managing their bug mail might want to look at the 
new email options, where they can turn off certain types of bugmail (eg. 
notification of changes to the CC field of a bug).

Would you consider leaving this one unfixed?  With the old bugzilla 
installation, the only real difference between the NEW and UNCONFIRMED 
states was that UNCONFIRMED bugs had come from bug-buddy.  Having bugs 
filed via the web start out UNCONFIRMED would be quite helpful for triage.
