I recently modified bugzilla to allow the addition of keywords when a
bug is reported a few weeks ago; this makes the use of GNOME2 keywords
easier and a bit more consistent. It seems like people are taking
advantage of it in an unexpected way. Of the open bugs with 'easy-fix'
set, they are all either new or chris wilddev net decided they were easy
to fix. [Don't know why he did that, but he did.] 

FWIW, I've updated the keyword description to specify that only
developers should judge whether or not a bug is 'easy-fix'; hopefully
that will reduce the occurence of this in the future.
