> [discussion about where to host a bugzilla]

Perhaps a more important question is, is there interest in making 
a stable branch, tracking bugs and producing bug-fix-only releases
from the stable branch?  As is traditional in (eg) gcc, etc?  If not,
I don't think there is much point in having a bugzilla.

It could be argued that QEMU would be more likely to move beyond
alpha state if these traditional kinds of QA mechanisms were actually
put into place and then used.
