This is kind of why I opened this thread - I can think of 1001 different
things that would be "nice to have" in bugzilla, but if app maintainers
wouldn't find them useful or would just ignore them, then they're probably
not worthwhile.

At the same time, there *are* changes that will result in a better
experience for users of bugzilla (reporters, developers, triagers), and so
we should discuss them and decide which ones are worth the cost in extra
complexity.

Were you thinking of anything in particular that could be made simpler?
