Really, for bugzilla problems you're better of writing [EMAIL PROTECTED]; gnome-web-list doesn't touch bugzilla, nor should it, since, for example, doing this without warning could break mysql (which I believe is the reason it has not been done in the past.) Anyway, please cc: yourself to:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96376 and we'll continue to see what we can do, but as I indicate in: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96376#c5 the answer is likely to be 'not much' for the foreseeable future.
