At any time someone can login and: The volume of mail bugzilla-mail generates is obscene. I've been on vacation for a week, and I have over a 1000 mails waiting for me from rh-bugzilla when I get back to give you an indication.[*] A month worth is just mammoth, and unless you have a lot of spare time on your hands (or you have have a masochistic streak), most of it will go unread, so I'm not sure such an archive would be particularly useful. I do have a bunch of scripts for rh-bugzilla that could probably be adapted to osdl-bugme to obtain stats etc like "show me how many bugs are in state x for kernel y", I'll take a look at doing that soon. Dave [*] Ok, rh-bugzilla gets a 'little' more than osdl-bugme does, but that may not always be the case, especially if escalating bugs to upstream becomes easier.
