13 Some people use the whiteboard for their own marking of bugs (e.g.
14 security, and myself). If you add more information in there, you might
15 be breaking other people's marking / sorting algorithms.

17 I'd say one keyword BUGDAY is enough. Any bug editor can set and remove
18 it and the bug history will show who set and removed it when. Sorting
19 any syntax is taken care of by Bugzilla that way. It seems to me problem
20 you seem to try to solve (review of bugs) can also be tackled with tools
21 displaying new bugs that have the keyword set and just removing the
22 keyword. If bugs are repeatedly spammed with BUGDAY comments, talk to
23 the spammers or leave a comment.
