Umm.... maybe it's just to early in the morning, but I don't see
anything in the logs regarding using bugzilla for overlays not on
overlays.gentoo.org. I only see references to sunrise specifically, not
a blanket statement for all non-overlays.gentoo.org overlays

Or was this part of a discussion / decision that wasn't on this mailing
