I would be very surprised if Bugzilla did not support setting different
policies for the Fedora "project".
I'm not an expert in the area, but I believe there's limitations to the
amount of configuration that can be done at that level. Certainly some
kind, but you don't have complete flexibility.
I'm not sure what would be gained by having a fully separate
Fedora bug
tracker. On the other hand, there are definite practical conveniences
to having Fedora and RHEL in the same bug tracker: user accounts are
shared and direct dependencies can be entered among Fedora, RHEL, and
Security Response bugs.
Which most of the time are done wrong, which annoys the crap out of some
of us. Me, at least. I hate having RHEL bugs depending on Fedora bugs
(or vice versa) when there's no reason why they should...
