Bugzilla patch reviews streamlined

Last week I made a couple of patches and asked for reviews
for those. I
was pleasantly surprised how the new Bugzilla interface has
been
streamlined for this process.

When you attach a patch, you can specify the review request
at the same
time. And if you obsolete a prior patch, the review request
for that
obsolete patch is automatically cleared.

What used to take five or more steps is now a one step
process!

I like the new 'reply to bug via email' feature, and have
a request  
-- would it be possible for it to detect attachments in a
reply  
message and 'attach' those attachments to the bug?

I actually like the way it currently works because I can
send Bugzilla
PGP/MIME messages and it will ignore the PGP signature
attachment.
Likewise people sending mail as text and HTML wouldn't
attach the HTML
version.

I guess those things could be special cased away.

In any case, I have no idea how hard it would be to
implement. I suspect
we would have to code it ourselves, unlike the
reply-by-email feature
which was more of a configuration change. If you feel
strongly about
this, please file a ticket to the internal IT ticket system.
