You probably did.  I've just been reluctant to figure out how to modify the
bugzilla setup.  But now that I added the whiteboard field to the new bug
page, this was pretty trivial, so it's done now.  (Though I should probably
go back and add the state transition information, too.)

I'd just be surprised if anyone bothered to click on the link.  Just
doesn't seem like the thing most engineers would bother to do.  They'll
rely on the self-description of the field to figure out its meaning.  If we
want people to click the link, perhaps we should simply name the fields
"Fred", "Barbara", etc.  :)
