So, I'm going for the crazy idea front here, now that RHBZ is hooked onto
fedmsg, should we try to write a tool creating bugs on GBZ for each gnome bugs
created on RHBZ and sync comments between both instances? (well, we would have
to see if we can get the GBZ onto a message bus of any sort)

This would:
* allow bugs to be reported upstream where more people can look at them
* allow bugs to be reported upstream without the need for the original reporter
  to create yet another account on yet another BZ
* keep the discussion in both places
* eventually allow us to tweak things so that we try to report only bugs that
  are of interest
  (for example, we could start by reporting all the user-reported bugs, as
  opposed to those opened by automated tools (ABRT & others))

Call me crazy, but that was in essence my idea behind the question: `would things
be really better if the bugs were opened on GBZ?` and you replied `yes` :)
