The problem with them (IMO) is that you have to type them in exactly as they 
are defined.

Every time I add a keyword (and I do use them, not sure if it helps 
anything), I have to click on the keywords link to see how they are spelled 
and what they mean.  It would be a MUCH better interface (and probably more 
used feature) if the keywords were a checkbox list instead.  I understand 
that this is not your software, but bugzilla's, so probably no change will 
come from this.  But at least it's an idea for explaining why it's a seldom 
used feature.

My preference for interface would be a checkbox list, with tooltips 
explaining the keywords when you hover over them.
