I'm interested in how are you currently organized, how and who read the "bug" submissions ... Alternatively I could write a dummy client which connects to the bugzilla like a webbrowser and automates the submission. (I suppose there is not a secure straight connection to the bugzilla backend) I see all this by a user perspective, not as a maintainer; so I would like to learn more. Marko
