7 We've got this available already.
8 The bug to track permissions is here:

10 Ask the developer who is proxying for you to please file a bug to
11 devrel, and they will update that tracking page when they grant you

18 I've wondered before about giving privileges based on the summary line,
19 but I haven't given it much thought beyond that. I think that would
20 probably be more useful than proxy herds, because 'herds' are just
21 actually mail aliases with user accounts in Bugzilla.
