Bugzilla bug day

Date:
Time:
This bug day is focused on Bugzilla itself -- the tool that anyone can download and install. "Upstream" Bugzilla is slightly divergent from Mozilla's own implementation of Bugzilla: bugzilla.mozilla.org, or BMO. (Of course, if you would like to work on BMO bugs you are very welcome to do so!)
