/me dons flame proof suit and stops lurking

Some possible solutions to improve this process based on the current
practice of CC'ing arch@g.o

How about adding a button to the bugzilla layout for users with developer
level privs which adds all known archs to the CC: list?

Or how about a simple cmdline tool using "dev-perl/WWW-Bugzilla" which
takes a bug number and CC's all known archs@g.o

Both of these would maintain the desired process but make it much easier
for the developer requesting to achieve.
