I've always said it'd would be nice to be able to create a bugzilla list by inputing bug numbers. This comes in handy when you want to make changes to a few bugs at once and you already know the numbers. instead of trying to cook up a query that is a near match and selecting from that, you could just enter in the numbers. I've also noticed that Bugsplat seems to have this feature. Well how about us?!
Reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org, who now has front-line responsibility for all Bonsai and Bugzilla bugs.
Reassigning back to me. That stuff about me no longer being the front-line person responsible for Bugzilla and Bonsai turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.

This would be a really cool feature. I have been carefully sifting through many bugs over the past few days, and found a set that all refer to a particular subject. However, they have almost nothing in common in the database, since they are filed against multiple components from multiple people, and each person is recognising the bug as something wrong with their component. I would like to add some text to all these bugs at once, linking them all together. However, the only way to do so at the moment is by going to each one in turn, since they have nothing really in common. A feature to generate a "change all these bugs at once" with the list made from simply a list of numbers given by the user would be very useful here. (The bugs in this case are 2534,2723,2742,3008,4354,4584,4661,5830,6166,6198. They all refer, in one way or another, to images' alternate texts.)

Perhaps an implementation of bug #11328, advanced query screen, would make this more feasible, since we can't keep adding to the query screen forever.
