Yeah, I'm aware of it. I check in on it regularly...once a year. It's
one of those 'long timescale' bugs =)

I unfortunately don't have the talent to help much, as I mentioned.
Mostly I bring it up in this thread to emphasize that the current Fedora
system is inherently compromised and, until the underlying tool is
improved, _always will be_: I want people to realize that, within the
current system, we cannot Solve Everything, only pick one trade-off or
another. Whichever trade-off we pick will annoy somebody, so simply
saying 'this trade-off annoys me!' is ultimately futile; I think it's
important to be aware of the big picture, which is that Bugzilla
currently simply can't cover all the things we're trying to do with it.
