Indeed.  Though I do have some programming skills, I've not contributed 
any code to Moz, and probably won't until/unless I have much more time 
on my hands.  But you can be useful in bugzilla just by applying a 
little intelligence and common sense.  Log bugs, read bugs, try to 
reproduce bugs and report whether you succeed or not, spot duplicates, etc.
