[kepler-dev] bugzilla and kepler

[Matt Jones]

Hi Chad et al.,

I reconfigured the bugzilla module to use 
'kepler-dev at ecoinformatics.org' as the QA Contact for all bugs.  So you 
do not need to add the list to the CC field for new bugs -- it'll be 
automatically emailed to the list.

Thanks, Chad, for setting this up.
