This thread is also really good indicators why having a pointer back to 
the original conversation / report / etc is valuable.  Being able to go 
back and re-examine what the original report was is rarely needed, but 
when it is, it's pretty useful.  The trend to name the t
est function 
after the bugzilla number is a good one, imho.

I did it a handful of times when converting the original private test 
suite into the public one.  There were a few tests that were large 
enough that I was concerned about the privacy issues.  Being able to 
find that they'd been gathered through public postings to a news group 
or bugzilla was enough to allow them to be made public.

Good stuff..
