Well, touching the bug system is not for mortal human beings. :) So I admire you for hacking around there, but not much people will go in, understand and fix that code.
Hehe, well I (and Daniel C.) do maintain the bug system for pear and
pecl so I have some what understanding on the code :P
It was in similar state as php-bugs-web when I started poking around so
I might probably update php-bugs-web also, we'll see, if time permits
me ;)
Well, ideally it should be a lot more modular, and a lot less hackish :) Whether it is possible to do depends on the available willingness of those involved.
