Request for comments: New Bugzilla-based contribution process

[Neal Gafter]

Mark-

Is there any mechanism for contributors or committers to "claim" a bug -
that is, notify others that they're working on it - other than email?  Given
the contribution process you outlined, the main mechanism seems to be
creating a bugzilla bug, but is there any way to see that the bugzilla bug
has been created from the bugs.sun.com page?
