I like the idea of using it for bugzilla submissions.

Assuming we are appointed approver/verifiers for our components of 
expertise, would we be able to push our own fixes quickly?  For example, 
it kind of gets in the way if I am forced to review Alex's changes to 
the rpm editor where he is the expert.

My other question is what happens with build changes.  For example, for 
a release we usually have to touch all pom.xml files in the different 
components.  Making all component owners approve/verify seems a tad 
unnecessary and dangerous for emergency build fixes.  Can Hudson be the 
verifier for these changes (i.e. ensuring the build and tests succeed)?
