	If this feature isn't there today (and I figure it could be), 
then I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add it.  The program would 
still be called send-pr, but obviously it probably wouldn't function 
much like the send-pr we all know and love to hate.

	Damn.  I wish you had asked these questions a couple of days ago. 
I had some of the key bugzilla developers sitting with me at the 
pre-FOSDEM drink on the Grand Place here in Brussels on Friday night, 
and there was a apparently a pretty big bugzilla representation at 
the conference.  We could have made this a pretty short task....

	Oh, and wait for a huge, huge announcement to come soon from 
them.  I can't tell you who's switching over, but it's a really big 
announcement.
