Went through the bug that Anant shared. AFAIK testoptia is an optional 
plug-in. I do know and remember that was talk of people writing 
test-cases and running them.

I would suggest we go for it, just need to mail a statement that we 
would be upgrading bugzilla and hence bugzilla instance would be down 
for sometime and once it's up, sharing the same and asking people to 
mail if they come across any issues.

Incidentally, at the first time I was going through bugzilla, I had 
wondered why bugzilla is not in Debian and then saw #638705 and #669643 
in the debian BTS.

There could be a case of debian-packaging bugzilla 5 as well if hamara 
wants to go for it, it would be a real contribution to Debian and could 
be considered once bugzilla has been updated on our own server.

The two main features that would come are with the new version are :-

a. Being able to see number of recent bugs filed at a glance (so we know 
which new bugs were filed and when.)

b. Being able to mail replies to bugzilla instead of having to go to the 
relevant page. So people like me who like mail interfaces better rather 
than bugzilla pages could do it from one interface.

Look forward to seeing the new version on hamara server soonish.
