Bugzilla is a bug-tracker and is not meant to be used for reviews. I believe in using the right tool for the right job. An e-mail should be concise and to the point, in this case only contain the discussion. This will help it to reach a wider audience and be more useful when people stumble upon it through a google search. cheers, -deniz
