This is something that I think everyone would appreciate. Our bugzilla is
in a really calcified state. Breathing some vitality into it would be
great. The thing is that I don't think that any of us have any experience
with running/upgrading bugzilla; if you have some background in this and
want to try your hand at it I think it's a no-brainer.

If bugzilla has some sort of mirroring capability, I think that a natural
first step would be to try to run a mirror with the target version (not on
LLVM's servers (server? our web presence is pretty pathetic...)), make sure
everyone is onboard with the upgrade (I don't expect any issues), then do
the upgrade to llvm.org/bugs (and take down the mirror).
