Yes, that makes total sense.

it's pretty free form for what we do for bugster for development stuff,
we just require an RM (required by bugster), IE (which I think is QA in
this context?), and a description - and we ask that once they integrate
that they promise to close off the old development stuff & move over any
still open/relevant bugs/rfes to solaris. (so there won't be two places
to track bugs, leading to confusion)
