Presumably that's fixable.
But I think bugzilla is more appropriate for tracking longer-term bugs. If
some problem has just popped up (or has just been discovered) then it's
best to try to knock it over with a quick email discussion. If that
doesn't work out then the bug should be captured in bugzilla so that it
doesn't get lost.
The really important data which bugzilla will record are
a) the fact that the bug exists and
b) the identity of the person who can reproduce it and who will hopefully
work with us on fixing it.

I'm not sure that we need one, really. Any bugs in a stable release can be
handled via email and/or bugzilla as we are presently doing?
What I'm concerned about is that regressions which we didn't fix are just
getting lost. Is anyone taking care to ensure that they are getting
transitioned into bugzilla for tracking?
