Bugzilla *WILL* be restored at some point, there are a lot of other
people who use it beyond Rafael.

It's not back up for a number of reasons, the biggest is that the
hardware that needs to be in place to get the dynamic web stuff from
kernel.org (wikis, bugzilla, kernel oops, etc) up and running, isn't in
place yet.  Right now I don't have an absolutely solid ETA on that, but
I will try and let people know once I do.

I've gotten the wikis up in a read-only form, but I don't have so easy a
way to do that with bugzilla.
