More posting later. For now, just this: it's very easy to do better and more
targetted queries with bugzilla -- but unfortunately it's hard to make short
pretty URLs that do so. For example:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora+Legacy&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

is everything in open states.

But then, look at the "Remember search" thing at the bottom of the page.
Once you've made the searches you want, you can create memorized searches
and they show up at the bottom of each page. (Or, of course, you can
bookmark 'em.)

But as Marc points out, the workflow in Red Hat's slightly weird bugzilla
doesn't map to the FL workflow very well -- ironically, much worse than that
in the default bugzilla. I'm going to talk to the RH bugzilla guys and see
what we can figure out about that.

No, actually, it's proposed as a remedy for a situation where it's hard to
find things in bugzilla. Really! Not tying up releases is a pleasant side
effect.
