Is there some way you can do a 'just show me all the bugs' page?  Bugzilla
seems to be designed for projects with thousands of active bugs, while for
riscos.info projects there only seem to be about a dozen listed at the
moment.

If I click on 'Reports' and Search/Tabular/Graphical reports, I get huge
search boxes.  This has put me off Bugzilla in the past, and I think it
would do the same to users.  Trying 'Search', not changing anything and
clicking Search does get me to a list of bugs.

Perhaps you could link to the search results page directly (everything seems
to be encoded in the URL so it should work)?  Maybe a few links like 'all
GCCSDK bugs', 'unresolved Firefox bugs' etc linked from a wiki page so
people don't have to wrestle with Bugzilla's search box?  Also might be good
to hide the Bugzilla front page, which has a prominent login box and a less
prominent search link.

Also, can you add 'Product' and 'Component' columns to the default search? 
It's rather unclear to which package some bugs belong by just their
description.
