1. Support for user-id auto-complete or lookup in the CC field.  It
seems that lots of folks use a different email address in bugzilla than
they do in email or newsgroups. If you try to CC the other address,
bugzilla rejects the post because the email address is unknown to it.

2. Support for figuring out which build a FIXED bug shows up in.
Notifications when the first such build is available. Firebug gets a bug
report that we track down to mozilla, then we add a bugzilla report.
Then we watch dozens of emails over months as the fix moves forward.
Then the bug is marked FIXED and we are left in limbo. We can't tell our
users to try it and yet we won't get another prompt about the problem.
Our users think we left it on the floor.
