We have flags for grimoire QA purposes (and others) and bugzilla's advanced 
search form gives the impression of being competent to deal with them. 
However, it could be just me, but it doesn't show the right results when 
checking more than one flag.
 
I'd like to know a few simple stats:
1. how many not fixed quickfix+ (useful for new people or that /quick 
fix/) ...
2. how many fixed in lesser branch and waiting for gatekeepers (useful to 
annoy the gatekeepers) ...
3. how many fixed in lesser branch, approved for integration and not done  
(useful to annoy anyone with access)
... bugs are there

These would nicely show the state of our QA process and where it could be 
improved. From my experience we lack gatekeepers or them doing gatekeeping 
more regularly and people to integrate things down once they are approved or 
them searching for such bugs (shouldn't these be a priority?). 
Or we should just release more often (one month since last release now).

Examples:
0.0  searced by setting flag equals quickfix+
103 bugs found
randomly picking a few shows it probably does the right thing

0.1 searced by setting flag equals fixed in lesser branch+
221 bugs found
randomly picking a few shows it probably does the right thing

0.2 searced by setting flag not equals fixed in lesser branch+
128 bugs found
randomly picking a few shows it probably does the right thing. Wierd number.

0.3 searced by setting flag equals fixed in lesser branch-
1874 bugs found - all the bugs there is. Wierd number.

1. 0 searced by setting flag equals quickfix+ AND flag not equals fixed in 
lesser branch+
103 bugs found
looks like the same list as under 0.0 #12930 confirms a problem.

1.1 searced by setting flag equals quickfix+ AND flag not equals "fixed in 
lesser branch"+
103 bugs found
looks like the same list as under 0.0 #12930 confirms a problem.

1.2 searced by setting flag equals quickfix+ AND flag not equals branch+
103 bugs found
looks like the same list as under 0.0 #12930 confirms a problem.
Also tried with the order reversed.

1. 3 searced by setting flag equals quickfix+ AND flag not equals fixed in 
lesser branch
103 bugs found
looks like the same list as under 0.0 #12930 confirms a problem.


... so I didn't even bother with the others. The few bugzilla docs that I've 
found don't mention searching. Help.
