Build Identifier: 

Lots of times certain widgets have technical names.
Keep a running tally of what people call certain things, and provide/keep a 
list of alternative names for the same widget.

This would be like a thesaurus.

I guess This is similar to the AI thread... but this is not intelegance... it's 
just keeping track of people calling font text and icon picture...


also, running bug submissions/queries through a spell checker (idea must have 
been proposed before)  would help a lot.

different vocabulary from what i would call something

This should be fairly trivial to add.
it should at most double the search time.

I can see the use of this feature. Unless somebody steps forward with a patch,
though, I don't see it getting implemented soon.

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.

Keywords: ue
Basically this is asking for something like a "suggestions" for searches with zero or low results. Changing keyword UE to uiwanted
Keywords: ueuiwanted
this proposal is better suited to being implemented as an extension instead of in bugzilla core.
