      <h1>Skip Bugzilla's process_bug.cgi</h1>
      <p>
        When you update anything on Bugzilla, you're left on process_bug.cgi, a
        POSTed page.  This sucks.  <code>POST</code> is for data,
        <code>GET</code> is for web pages.
      </p>
      <p>
        When process_bug.cgi is detected, document.location is changed to the
        bug's real location and any email notifications are shown with
        <code>jetpack.notifications</code>.
      </p>
      <p>
        This jetpack uses some terrible screen scraping that's likely to break,
        but I'll probably fix it quickly since I'm on bugzilla every day.
