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.
Can we do this in an open forum like wine-devel instead of having one point of contact? I think we all have particular issues with bugzilla that we don't necessarily communicate to the project. Having said that, I think it's great that the Bugzilla Project is getting feedback from the open source community, and I'm glad we're one of the projects you would like input from.

When still working out how to do bugzilla stats (in the WWN, Wine's newsletter. Last article of every issue) I originally attempted to get information from the report/graph/chart generating feature. It took a while but I finally figured out how to use it and got numbers that I thought seemed reasonable. However after a bit I noticed that indeed, the numbers did not make sense. To this day I cannot figure out what the report was saying. I think the entire report generator needs a huge interface overhall.
That said, I'm with james in that its great that you guys are putting forth this effort!
