At the danger of derailing/forking the conversation...

My preference with bugzilla is to only raise bugs when the outcome is
clear. The test I use is if I gave a bug to a newbie could they pick it up
and fix it without any questions. If it's not clear I'd start a mailing
list conversation with the outcome of cutting a new bug with decisions made.

My worry with using bugzilla as the place of discussion is that a bug can
get extremely confusing - especially when people have differing views.

The result of this is a manageable bug list for the mobile site [1] which
could one day be empty and is much more manageable.
