I am a Mandrake fanatic, (one of the quiet ones who usually only reads this
list, not a poster) and one of the the maintainers for Bugzilla. I will
happily contribute my time to making a Bugzilla installation available for
Cooker issues. However, were I associated with Mandrake I would have
concerns about hosting the Mandrake Cooker Bugzilla database off-site.
I'll toss my hat in the ring in favor of using Bugzilla to track Cooker
issues! Let me know how I can be of service, and I'll gladly contribute.
FYI: I maintain the Bugzilla documentation. I will have a new version
out this week, submitted to the LDP, that's fairly all-inclusive. However,
the FAQ at http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/source.html should get you started...
