Please redirect this request to the bugzilla maintainers directly, so that all 
bugzilla installations can benefit from it. 

Thanks in advance,

Hmm, we don't have anything unique we can put there other than the urlbase, and
that would be way ugly...

We either would need to create an "Installation Name" parameter which is
separate from the urlbase, or let the folks who care about this edit the
template for the login page.

Maybe this should be a broader thing that is prefixed/suffixed to all page
titles, and not just the login page?  Sort of like all of the pages on the
bugzilla.org website currently have " :: bugzilla.org" on the end of the title.

You know, this is a good idea -- the site identity would be a nice thing to have
in bookmarks -- particularly for me, since I bookmark all my bugzilla
accesspoints, and I access dozens of them. Let me take a look at what Nielsen
recommends and see if we can find something useful.

He suggests using suffixes and not prefixes, interestingly:

  Do not make all page titles start with the same word: they will be hard to 
  differentiate when scanning a list. Move common markers toward the end of the 
  line. For example, the title of this page is Microcontent: Headlines and 
  Subject Lines (Alertbox).

And so does http://www.7nights.com/dkrprod/gwt_seven.php:

  What a Title Tag Is Not.
 
  [...] Putting your site name first. Again, unless your talking about a home 
  page, this is not too helpful. You can have your site name on every page, but 
  you usually want to start with the most relevant information first. This can 
  be ok, if you page title is very, very short.

I'd be okay with a titlesuffix template variable (maybe in header.html.tmpl?)
that we could customize. How does that sound?

Bugzilla includes the name of the installation in its name, see e.g. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi:

"Log in to GCC Bugzilla"

This is unique enough.
