Thta's neat, but it doesn't solve the problem I wrote about. It still
takes 38 seconds to load the bug report form when you click on the
"Report a new bug" link from the
bugz.fedoraproject.org page for a
particular RPM.
I don't have a fix per se for this problem, but I've started working
around it by using the command-line 'bugzilla' client:
$ bugzilla login
$ bugzilla new -p Fedora -v rawhide -c <component_name> -s 'short
summary' -l "component-0.0.1-1.fc11.x86_64 \nBlah blah blah this
doesn't work and here's what I've already done to try fixing it"
Maybe Will is listening -- one RFE I was thinking about, but not sure
if it's worthwhile, would be allowing people to use $EDITOR to fill in
the comment (-l) field.
