That will be a really nice touch.

The other question to go with this is whether a lot of the 'fringe' projects
that merely happen to be gnome.org projects ought to get gently nudged out
of the core gnome bugzilla. The reason for saying that is that there are not
enough people working on gnome infrastructure/site admin to keep up with
the demands of these because most folks are busy working on their rival
Ximian or Eazel projects and so the number of effective actual gnome core
contributions has dropped massively rather than risen as might originally
have been expected. It may thus be that sourceforge is a better place to
manage those bug trackers.
