This behavior should be easy to replicate, no?  Other task trackers are 
easy to configure to send to an arbitrary list, so bugzilla should be 
able to just post to the issues list.

Although if you can import the bugzilla issues db, that seems like the 
ideal solution.  I found that JIRA can: 
http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v2.5.3/bugzilla_import.html 
but the scarab stuff seems more questionable, that there's an xml import 
thing, but I didn't find anything written for bugzilla in particular. 
Is there a good way to handle that import?
