Hey there Wine Bugzilla folks. I've been funded by the MozillaFoundation to do a survey of the major Bugzilla-using organizations in the world, to find out what people like and don't like about Bugzilla, what we could improve, what changes you'd like to see in Bugzilla, etc., and you guys are one of the organizations picked for the survey. :-)
The Bugzilla Project is going to use this information toprioritize its work on future releases, and we may even be able to get a grant from the Mozilla Foundation to work on some of the most popular or pressing issues. In other words, what you say here will really matter.
I was wondering--who's the best contact there who I could aska few questions to about how you guys use Bugzilla? It'd just be over email, unless you want to do it over IRC or on the phone.
(Oh, and make sure you reply to me directly, since I'm not onthe list.)

I triage a lot of old bugs, so more boolean search options would be nice. I'd especially like a 'days since last comment', 'last comment by', 'last comment contains'. The ability to post a comment to several bugs (perhaps, only available to admin/privileged users) would also be nice.
Along the same line as Austin's last request, our bugzilla management would be so much easier if we could modify several bugs at the same time without spamming our wine bugzilla mailing list. For example, we'd like to close all of our non-fixed resolved bugs. We've been irresponsible and the list of bugs that matches this query has 782 reports. If we tried to close all of these at once, we'd either spam the mailing list, or spend a couple weeks closing 30 bugs at a time. I imagine this would only be possible by our bugzilla admins (to keep it from being abused).
