I think that is a great idea. The only problem is that there's not a really good way to maintain a list in bugzilla that people can add to. I guess the app list could be a big metabug. But this might mean less flexible queries.
I don't think I would like the metabug approach. What is the problem with this, right now people cannot just add an app to the list. I first have to go through a submission process to get my app put into the database right now. It seems to me that maintaining the list in buzilla could be done when the app was actually added to the database. Could you enlighten me more about this please.

The more I think about this the more I would like it.
Reasons for integrating the app database with bugzilla.
- No problems with alternate spelling of app (M$ word, MS WORD, microshaft word, etc...) - Better quality bug reports (forces user to give at correct program name and version) - Keeps app database current. - Reduces need for metabug messiness. - Maintainer/s for app have central place to maintain app - Easy to locate bugs with app. - Easier to locate duplicate bugs. - Encourage users to become maintainers.
Did I forget anything?
I think the long term benefits far outwiegh the short term amount of work to get this done.
What can I do ?
