Thanks. That led me to the code here:
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/?root=bugs

This is a regular bugzilla 3.4.8 plus some changes, right? Can you
briefly explain what changes you have made? (From now on, changes must
be small with commit messages, of course).

Is there some documentation about how to deploy that code to the
test.maemo.org?

Is this the only reason for wanting to upgrade to bugzilla 3.4? What
other advantages/features were we hoping for?

That certainly looks nice, fitting in well with the rest of the site.

David King might find some time to work on this, but it's not certain.
First we need to establish the status of the current work and what
should be done next.
