in my experience people don't USE bugzilla much - users just e-mail things in anyway -
they never search for a bug that is similar to theirs before they post one... and to
be honest - i don't pay attention to bugzilla stuff nor any of them - because i'm
almost always at the stage of "making lots of new things i know have bugs and i really
am not interested in people telling me what i already know" :) thus i've never found
ti useful (not to mention bugzilla's interfaces is a bit of a PITA)
we also have a limit to how much we can run on e's website. i'd say it'd be more
useful to really keep a text file somewhere with BUGS and list known ones - as they
get resolved shuffle them elsewhere int eh file and mark them as resolved :) that way
its 1. text, 2. searchable, 3. easy to use, 4. stays with the cvs code so u have your
list of bugs along with the code :)
