I'm not a huge fan of any of these because they all require manual
translation of the request, and that's something that's always going to
go wrong at some point. What the current method achieves is it feeds the
nomination straight into our actual blocker handling workflow, which is
entirely centred around Bugzilla. There's no manual 'handling' of the
nomination needed, it's just...done. I'd definitely like to keep that
element.
I though it was obvious, but of course there does not need to be any
manual translation, but a script that automatically adds the specified
bugs to the tracking bug.
