Bugzilla best practices guide, Debian quality guide

Luis Villa, the quality maestro of GNOME, recently asked for help writing or reviewing a Bugzilla best practices guide. He thinks that putting the insights gained from GNOME into a guide will help other projects. I completely agree with him and I suggest that we put together a Debian quality guide as well. Not only will such a guide make it much easier for new people to get involved with Debian's QA efforts, but other projects will also benefit. They can which problems Debian is facing, how we are dealing with them, and maybe they have some good ideas for us too. Given that there are so many different processes employed by free software and open source projects, it would be good to have a collection of best practices. I'm always amazed when I look at other projects and see that they have really nice processes (Mozilla being one prime example).
