Currently bugzilla.mozilla.org disallow indexing by search engines. The 
robots.txt file has:

User-agent: *
Allow: /index.html
Disallow: /

Having the bug pages indexed by Google is of course a good thing:

* Google could be used to search if a bug has already been reported, and 
it will probably make a better job than the current search system.
* If someone searchs about a company Google will probably shown an 
evangelism bug reported to his website.
* If someone is searching about a web feature (e.g. border-collapese) 
Google will be able to display Mozilla's bug about that.

So I propose to change robots.txt to only disallow entries which causes 
searchs in bugzilla, and allow http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi 
at least.

Thoughts?
