led to it
being set up as a separate sub-project outside of QA
.IIRC Bugzappers as a group existed years before "QA" as a project
existed but that isn't really important now.
For the record, the current incarnation of BugZappers dates to March
2008:

The previous incarnation dates to July 2005:

that incarnation got very little traction, the list archives are '2
mails a month' stuff all the way from Sept 2005 through April 2008.
"Fedora QA" appears to have been birthed by Will Woods on Dec 4, 2006:

oh, from such tiny acorns...
(yes, I love this history stuff, is it obvious by now?)
So yeah, technically 'BugZappers' predates 'QA', but the original
BugZappers seems to have been almost DOA.
