If you think the GNOME bugzilla query page is complicated, go look 
at the standard query page, on say, bugzilla.mozilla.org. ;-)

Going with a simple and advanced query page would be possible, and is
something I've considered, though I don't think simple could be nearly
as simple as you suggest.

The bugzilla.gnome.org sources can be found as the 'buzilla' component
in GNOME cvs. It's a mix of the stock bugzilla and customizations
from bugzilla.redhat.com. (Mostly moving to a template system for
generating the HTML.)

Suggestions for bugzilla.gnome.org should go in the "bugzilla.gnome.org"
component. Mail to bugmaster gnome org will go to the people who
maintian bugzilla.
