Yes, I had forgotten to place some versions to play with. I added some
to "bus drivers" as a demo.

Which are these? i386 and x86_64?

I think this cannot be dumbed. It is also a bit different. A blocker
severity in a development version could be of lower priority than a
major serverity of security issues in a released version. Or you could
move an enhancement at higher priority than a trivial fix etc.

That's a good idea. bugzilla only supports one-dimensional versioning,
e.g. it would not be able to really deal with lm_sensors x Linux
version tuples. By abusing the OS field, we can effectivly achive
that. :)

Unconfirmed means it may be not a bug at all. New means it is a bug
but has not yet been assigned to anyone. You can drop the unconfirmed,
I currently set it up for having to vote (with one vote) to make a bug
new. Personally I don't think voting in general makes sense, but I
left it for playing.

OK, added. But not components, yet, so it does not show up. Try adding
some to see the mechanics of it (You are and admin now).

flags can be used for example to ask for a review before commiting
something. check out the example on
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/flags-overview.html

It's the supervisor of the poor assignee, I also don't like him ;)

Done so.
