Good idea. I think I could handle that.

Now that one is tougher. Mostly because I know absolutely no Perl.
I'm not too terribly familiar with BugZilla, but might it work to add
each app as a BugZilla bug, then set the other bugs as blockers? That
way I could do it by having the AppDB interface with the BugZilla DB,
instead of having to modify BugZilla itself.
