It makes sense, yes. I will try to follow this approach as much as
possible and remind our team to ensure that bugzilla references upstream
lead to meaningful information. Of course, I should also say that for
anyone interested in a particular bugzilla issue, feel free to ask us to
open it if it is private. I tend to forget about it and as Adam says,
they are private by default..

Cheers,
Kristoffer
