IMHO, bugzilla should be preferred over direct posting to the news group 
due to it's inherent trackability, yes.

I did some custom hacks to bugzilla to get it to post to the newsgroup.  
It's on my low priority list to take the hacks and work them into a 
productizeable form.  I'm really too unhappy with how hacky the changes 
are right now to even hand out diffs.  I really want to make it more 
flexible and configurable than it is.  Right now it's very hardcoded, 
every bug, regardless of product, category, etc.. all get posted to 
digitalmars.D.bugs and only on the news.digitalmars.com server.  
Unacceptable, really.

Later,
