Of course,  the feature owner is responsible for setting the appropriate bug status.
Should be easier to change the Status field in bko than modifiying the wiki, slightly.

But you're correct,  we would need to translate:
  New => Todo
  Assigned => In Progress
  Resolved => Done

Also, I sorta like having the features grouped by module as the wiki page does now.

I could easily write a program to convert the query output to be more pleasing
but that defeats the purpose of having an automatic thing.

I don't know anything about bugzilla... but maybe there is a way to pipe the query output
into another filter before displaying?

At worse case, I still think having a new "Feature" severity would be  useful.
