In the old days there was a lot of pushback against making the new bug form more useful by adding fields for QA Contact, Keywords, dependencies, and status whiteboard (I've just added alias to the list). The justification for leaving these fields out of enter_bug.cgi was that we didn't want to complicate the interface for newbies. Now we have a very good bugzilla helper and the interfaces are templatized so they are easier to adjust or swap out. I think it's time to revisit the decisions that have crippled enter_bug for frequent bug reporters. This is a metabug for tracking the changes to the new bug form which would make it not suck for power users.
This really needs the backend for process_bugs and post_bug to be combined
adding keyword, alias, dependencies and stuff.
