You don't even have to be a "real" dev.  Just ask somebody with enough karma 
(preferably somebody who already knows previous contributions of yours) if 
he would increase your Bugzilla powers, and if you've got a good past 
record you'll probably get what you need.  At least that's how it worked 
for me ;-)
