Quicksearch!

Needinfo to ask a question of a specific person
At end of page after comments
Bug reporter, assignee, anyone, other

Bugzilla keywords
At very bottom of page in footer
Personal tagging for bugs
A little hard to know how to search for

Can share as saved search
BugMo User Profile
Bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile
Look at your own
Search email or name to look at other profiles
This will be exposed better soon on BMO home page with a version of the dashboard.
Add a gravatar!
User profile
Filter bugmail
The wonderful world of email headers
If at Mozilla, filter in Zimbra, then recreate in your own email reader if necessary
Headers: X-Bugzilla-Type, changed, product, component, assigned-to, reason, milestone, priority, etc.
