Much appreciation to Andre and to Daniel for their many hours of work on
this, and on their previous security upgrade of Bugzilla.

I want to emphasize a few of the improvements that I especially love,
from those release notes:
* Displaying a bug with many dependencies is now much faster.
* After you edit a bug, the URL is automatically changed to show_bug.cgi
instead of process_bug.cgi or the like.
* User autocompletion is faster (like when you add a cc).
* Most changes made by BZ admins are now logged to the database, in the
audit_log table.
* We can disable older components, versions and milestones.

And we get more customizability to generally improve the look, feel, and
workflow of Bugzilla.  So, thanks for pushing this, Daniel and Andre!
