With the new xml-rpc features in bugz3+ we should be able to whip up a really 
simple application that makes stuff less tedious for admins. As I agree that 
waiting for the site to write every single change to the database I'd opt to 
make it work offline and push the changes in batches.

I just checked what new bugzilla versions offer and they seem to have pretty 
much everything we'd need:
- milestones
- keywords/tags
- fields we could use for triage
- xml-rpc

I'm still not sure if such a system would be adapted, but I think having 
something that's almost as easy to use as a local TODO file while being more 
structured is something that will definitely help.

Michael
