I do have an initial pass at packaging this.  It simply handles
installation -- not upgrading.  I haven't touched it in a couple  of
weeks, but was planning to get back to work on it in the next few days.

I would love to get some testers for the package.  Are you volunteering?

 Thanks for  the info.  I was not aware of that.  I did wonder why it
 wasn't being packaged.
 
 It looks like the main thing to  be addressed is finding a
 co-maintainer.

As discussed in private with Mark (he's a coworker), I will serve as his
comaintainer  sponsor for this package.

Moreover, I'm adding the security team to the loop, since bugzilla3 was
removed per their request.

We know that bugzilla has had a troubled history in Debian, so we'll be
careful. One area in particular that was problematic was a strained
relationship with upstream (aiui, the result of having an unmaintained
vulnerable package in Debian for some time); Mark has already been in
some contact with them.

If you still have reservations, feel free to raise them — before we
upload this (soonish) would work better :) 

Thanks,
Faidon

As the person, who requested the removal of the old package: I have no 
objections against Bugzilla per se. The upstream security engineering
is done in a very professional manner.

The old package was removed because
- the old package was practically unmaintained (only activity every year or 
so). If
  there's now a full maintainer team, all the better.
- the old packaging was horrible (multiple tarballs mixed in a weird way and
  instead of patches everything was modified by a series of shell scripts
  run during build) and close to impossible to NMU in a sane way. If you
  start bugzilla4 packaging from scratch that should not be a problem.

Cheers,
Moritz

Great idea.

Have you checked why bugzilla3 used to be in Debian, and got removed (see 
#638705).

I guess you'd better have to convince people that things will be improved with 
the new version, for the success of this ITP ;-)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
