I know you hate bugzilla ... but at least I can try to make that bit
of the process work better.

The new version just rolled out does have a simple "regression" checkbox
(and you can search on it), which will hopefully help people keep track
of the ones already in bugzilla more easily.

Thanks to Jon T, Dave J et al. for helping to figure out methods and
implement them.
