I agree with this suggestion and also with Darryl's additional reason in
a separate message, so would like to understand how to make progress.
The discussion at the moment does not seem to be going anywhere.

Do you mean that Novell management need to be informed of (a) a
performance problem with bugzilla or (b) the lack of indexing of
bugzilla ?  Should Suse employees inform Novell management or should
general Suse users? What channels should be used to make such
report/request?

Is Novell actually likely to do anything? If they do not, is there an
alternative strategy of forking the bugzilla and running an open version
for opensuse?


Having a bugzilla for a supposedly open project organized in such a way
that users and potential contributors cannot see some bugs seems to me
to be a serious and fundamental flaw in an open project!
