When maemo.org was that site run by Nokia, then having only Nokia products in bugs.maemo.org made sense, leaving all th rest to garage.maemo.org - the official place for community / third parties.

Now this could change, since maemo.org is going to be that site run by the Maemo community, where Nokia is also one player. From a Nokia perspective it would be iindeed interesting to keep a clear line of responsibilities and expectations, but it can be possible done as well within a single bugzilla.

For instance, keping weekly reports and statistics affecting about only the platform products maintained by Nokia would be useful, and dilluting this in overall statistics wouldn't be useful. In fact we can see already today that having the Website bugs mixed with the software bugs is already distorting the picture and distracting the attention sometimes...

Another idea. Would it be possible to have two bugzilla instances reliying in fact in th same database? Same backend & same users but different frontends, one for official-platform-by-Nokia (aka "Maemo" in the new definition) and the other one for the rest: applications by Nokia/3rd partties + community platform hacks ("*** for Maemo" in the new definition).

This would work in the lines of my comments in bug 630 and would help us Maemo SW team @ Nokia concentrate our attention in the platform quality. Note that the application level is a different battle for us, even for those apps developed inside Nokia, that increasingly might come from other corners outside our own team. The application layer is also where more noiseVSsignal is likely to come as the devices running Maemo become more popular, where most closed source is located and therefor less possibilities to get contributions... Is a different game.

The platform level is where most of the open source + upstream components are concentrated, making possible to evolve to a more Debian/GNOMEish dynamics, with higher direct Nokia developer involvement, better monitoring from upstream, more contributions made via patches and a more specialized dialog overall.

And just mentioning another idea that apeared in previous discussions: using https://bugs.launchpad.net/ to integrate/aggregate everything.
