In the past we've spoken to the guys at Canonical to discuss this.
Basically our strategy is to get into Debian and hence get into Ubuntu
via the back door (or is that a front door?). Hubert tells me that
we're pretty close to this, but if you need to know more, I'm sure he
can give more information.

We use bugzilla internally but do not expose it externally.
Essentially the mailing list is our public bug database. There have
been some discussion threads about this on the list recently.

Cool, thanks for the heads up :-)

Good to know, I'll check it out.
