Fedora Community portal integration would be a good thing, but bugs may
still be needed, e.g. if a package update depends on something else:
Recently there was some latex breakage iirc that prevented a an update
of some package to happen. Nowadays this is solved with blocking on the
other bug report. For this to work with the portal, it probably also
needs advanced bugzilla skills and it would be nice to have portal
support in bugzilla.

Is there something like python-fedora to create notifications within the
portal?
