Err, uhm...I'd rather not see bugzilla overloaded with this sort of
notification. But I would LOVE to see this integrated as notification
information into the Fedora Community portal concept.

I know a lot of us rely on bugzilla as the mainstay to a lot of our
workflow...everything is a nail when all you have is a hammer.
Everything is a bug when all you have is a bug tracker...But I think
the maintainer portal concept introduced with the debut of Community
is something we should start driving enhanced functionality at.
