I'm not sure what the best solution is.  You're right... it is an internal
thing that needs to be dealt with; whether that decision ends up letting
contributors do this sort of thing or not, the situation will still need to
be dealt with internally.

I'm not even going to pretend to know how this will turn out, or how to go
about it.  This is something that Warly and Fred Lepied have to initiate.

That's kinda the point of bugzilla.  Accountability is very important for
many reasons.
