I've done the text file thing before too. I think the basic problem is
that bugzilla is overcomplex and bloated and needs some top-down
interaction design...

This isn't a productive suggestion for the short term ;-)

Alex's pygtk frontend to bugzilla may be the right approach; a non-web
UI might cache enough locally to be a lot faster, and be able to e.g.
keep multiple query results and bug lists at a time. It could also have
hardcoded awareness of certain keywords and tracking bugs, and maybe
have nice UI for dealing with milestones and things.
