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.
