* I agree that we need FAS<->Bugzilla integration, not just for this purpose, 
but for many purposes. I think a simple additional field in FAS where you could 
specify your Bugzilla login would be a great step forward. But ideally you 
would as well have to enter your BZ password once, so that the login can be 
verified.

But, do we really want to require Bugzilla accounts to get the ability to 
propose blockers? I don't know, just pondering aloud.

* I don't understand the "Release Number" in the HTML form much. We're working 
on a single release at a time. What's the purpose?

* As the first cut, I think the form is quite fine. But in the future I imagine 
we should have a bit different process and the form can adjust to it. My very 
rough idea:
- A person can propose any important bug into "QA watchlist". He/she will 
acknowledge that the bug complies to our basic requirements (it's critical or 
affecting a lot of users, it doesn't concern just a tiny fraction of hardware, 
it can't be fixed post-release or significantly lowers user experience, etc). 
QA goes through the QA watchlist periodically, some bugs are removed right 
away, some are moved to the blocker/freeze-exc list, some are just kept an eye 
on.
- A person can also check a box "This should be a release blocker" (the page 
explains what it is) and provides a justification, then it should have a higher 
priority for us in the QA watchlist.
- A person can also select a milestone (Alpha/Beta/Final) for this blocker and 
(optionally) cite a particular criterion. Then it is proposed as a blocker 
right away, instead of going into QA watchlist.
