This still smells like a messy workaround to me. Not only the web
interface is used to access Bugzilla. We'd have to patch everything else
- python-bugzilla, Fedora Community, etc - to properly 'interpret' the
flags. But hey, it'd be better than nothing, if someone wants to do the
work...
Any change from the current situation will require changes in the
dependent tools to interpret whatever is used for a new workflow. E.g.
if bugs are cloned, that the tools should also identify the bugs as
cloned ones.
