Along the same line as Austin's last request, our bugzilla management
would be so much easier if we could modify several bugs at the same
time without spamming our wine bugzilla mailing list.  For example,
we'd like to close all of our non-fixed resolved bugs.  We've been
irresponsible and the list of bugs that matches this query has 782
reports.  If we tried to close all of these at once, we'd either spam
the mailing list, or spend a couple weeks closing 30 bugs at a time.
I imagine this would only be possible by our bugzilla admins (to keep
it from being abused).
