sigh it'd involve dumping - then purging - parts of the bugzilla postgresql
dump.  bleh :)

i'd want it anyway.

yes.  it's... "functional".

wark-wark :)  not at all.  i believe it's there for "convenience", for
when you're running locally, and want to browse bugs, comment on them etc.
locally then "git push" out to merge with other users.

funfunfun...

sigh i kinda promised myself i wouldn't mess about with web frameworks any
more :)  however if my arm was sufficiently twisted i could likely throw
something together that's suitable for public use, maybe even (gosh)
using the bugzilla postgres user/pass to do it (!)

hm i wonder if we can justify putting in an NLNet Grant request specifically
for things like this, on the basis that, really, we do need full independence.
we could then find - and pay - someone to do these kinds of things.
