trickle, but I expect this to become much more time consuming once
Fedora 12 is released.
Bug Buddy was able to read X-GNOME-Bugzilla-* keys from the
application's .desktop file, allowing maintainers -some- control over
where crash reports were directed.
Does ABRT have some kind of similar feature that would allow me to
redirect crash reports to GNOME Bugzilla instead of Red Hat Bugzilla?

The abrt bugzilla plugin lets you configure what bugzilla to use. But
that's user configuration, not something you can tweak on a per-package
basis. It would be nice to have a checkbox there, maybe
[ ] Use the bugzilla instance that is recommended by the package
Another thing that would be good to prevent and F12 bug flood is to make
duplicate catching work better. I've had to manually mark a number of
abrt reports with very similar stacktraces as dupes. I would have
expected abrt to figure that out by itself.
