Well now that we've got code, it's no longer a theoretical exercise. It
helps that Will already wrote the hard part.

Unknown as to whether other bugzillas support the XML-RPC.

Agreed. I'd kind of like to see all the product-related stuff disappear
out of some dot-file in the tree and into whatever we do about
product.img.

Sure, something like this is easy enough to do. Looks like there's
enough support on the list for keeping it, even though I don't really
care to. I always viewed it as a stop-gap until we got something
better.

Right now I'm taking the raw Python stack trace information and
concatenating each stack frame's file, function, and code text together
and then doing a sha256 on it. I skip the line number since those could
change from build-to-build, and I skip the actual exception message
("RuntimeError: blah blah blah") because that could have information
that changes from run-to-run, but is still the same traceback.
I want to make sure the hashing is right before committing any of this.
Once bugs start getting filed through it, it'll be too late to change
the hashing without missing dupes.

Agreed. If the hashing's good it should mitigate things somewhat
though. Also keep in mind you have to have a bugzilla account in order
to file bugs so there's still that one hurdle between us and the masses.
