However, tools can be more or less encouraging.

Regarding the bug# the bug summary can be automaticly pulled in from
bugzilla. Either, after the fact, when reading the ChangeLog or upon
submitting it.

I'm not familiar with the QA tools currently used by dev. Would it be
possible to have theese tools ask the apropritate questions and put them
into the ChangeLog?

On a related issue, it would be great with a portage-bugzilla tool.
emerge --info and other stuff could be handled automaticly. When an
ebuild breaks the tool would be invoked to show filed bugs and their
links and/or submit a new one.

As it is now portage is great tool for distribution, customization,
compilation, installation and dependency tracking, it could be a better
tool with regards to QA and development.
