We probably need a new, easy-to-use front-end for bugzilla. mcummings@gentoo.org
(new junior developer) has said he's willing to help out. 

It should be easy to
) Submit an ebuild [karltk@gentoo.org has code for verifying correctness and
well-formedness of such a submission; if desired each submission could be tested
to contain sane ChangeLog, sane digest, and sane ebuild code before it was added
to bugzilla].

) Make a bug against a package [here we really want to have a template bug
report that users filled in]

) Make a generic feature request

In general, the bug submission procedure should be step-wise and well-explained
with on-screen help. 

We also want to have a page with a lot of standard queries, as the query builder
is daunting to for most newbies and simply tiresome to old-timers.

) One-click listing of bugs assigned to a particular developer
) Average bug turnaround time
) List all critical/blocker bugs

Other work is being done to address this issue (humbug). We'll just have to
endure bugzilla for a bit longer.
