I think your "I had to search through bugzilla" is the answer, actually. Unfortunately, the bugzilla search interface is pretty complicated and frequently doesn't return the expected results. It is possible to get a list of "major problems from FC X" out of bugzilla, but tuning the query to give you a sufficiently small number of results to be useful and still capture the most relevant ones is less than trivial. -- Shahms E.
