Yes, but only mandrake developers have permission to post bugs in bugzilla.  
Someone said it was to prevent stupid bug reports from being filed.  I think 
this is a pretty stupid decision.  How about we open up bugzilla and have a 
few volunteers from this list sift through the bugs and confirm them?  After 
all, Bugzilla is far better than Mandrake expert for this type of thing.
