To be completely honest, I wouldn't mind ditching the spell-submit list 
in favor of bugzilla completely.  But that is me, and I know some people 
do prefer the submit list, actually now that I think about it, the last 
time I heard anyone saying that they liked the submit list was so that 
people in other sections could play around w/ the spells before they 
were added.  So, if it'd be possible to have bugzilla be the main source 
of adding new spells, and have bugzilla send out the emails to 
spell-submit, and use SM-Grimoire for section updates, I'd love to do 
that so that I would have one less list I absolutely have to pay 
attention to, and could possibly even unsubscribe.
