 Thanks again guys, you guys are the best!
 +1.

Indeed.

 Now if we can maybe get someone to change the UI a bit on bugzilla
 that would be something...
 Yeah that would be awesome.

As I already told Sri on IRC yesterday, if anything is wrong with our
current bugzilla, you should start by filing bugs. Then we can start
looking for solutions and someone to implement them. Otherwise we
can't guess what you guys think the problem is.

If it's not in bugzilla, it doesn't exist.

As well: This is almost the default Bugzilla UI, and yeah, it is that
terrible by default. Read
http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2015/02/10/gnome-bugzilla-upgraded-to-4-4/
for the list of things. Loads of overlapping functionality. We've been
using Bugzilla for so long while the UI has not improved much, nor the
way that it works (just received more options or made it less easy to
remove the unneeded functionality). Andre raised it various times, but
they're not really getting it.

Just to classify bugs into various lists you have:
Classifications, Products, Components, Hardware, OS, Keywords, Tags,
Flags, Target Milestone. That's wayyy too many.

During FOSDEM a Mozilla Bugzilla hacker reached out to see if assistance
was needed. We didn't contact yet, but maybe this is better.

BTW: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ is a heavily customized Bugzilla.
Upstream Bugzilla should just work by default IMO.

Same here! Huge thanks to everyone involved. It was badly needed.

For anyone who might be interested: git-bz stopped working for me with
the upgrade. However, I was pointed to the following branch, which
does work:

The upgrade has been finalized and the machine is back to production.
A special thank you goes to Andre Klapper and Krzesimir Nowak for
their hard work to make this happen.

We are also happy to announce Krzesimir has joined the GNOME
Bugmasters team and admin status has been granted to him on
bugzilla.gnome.org. We are also delighted about the fact today's
upgrade has given a new life to the Bugmasters team: new members are
joining and more are willing to participate to the team and most of
all old members are back on track to provide their valuable feedback
and expertise.

While we are confident enough testing was made we welcome everyone to
submit bugs that may arise at [1].

Have an awesome evening everyone!

 Hi,

 this upcoming monday we'll be performing bugzilla.gnome.org's upgrade
 to the very latest Bugzilla release, it being 4.4.8.

 The upgrade time frame has been kept wide enough for us to perform the
 following operations:

 1. Make sure the Bugzilla database is replicated on our MySQLd replica
 (mainly dumping the DB and restoring it on the replica so they are
 both in sync. We need all the tables to be on READ LOCK while doing
 this so the upgrade is a good time for the replication of this
 database to be restored)
 2. Perform the upgrade itself from release 3.4 to release 4.4.8
 3. Perform post-upgrade maintenance operations

 More information about what happened behind the scenes during these
 months can be found at [1].

 As usual keep an eye at [2], we'll make sure to update it with ETAs as
 things move forward.
