This is long overdue and kudos to all involved. I'm already noticing the more useful side effects such as the url change, performance and the better formatted emails

bugzilla.wikimedia.org is operational again and is now running the latest stable version (4.2.4, before was 4.0.9).
Big thanks to Daniel Zahn from the ops team for upgrading! All fame belongs to him!
Much appreciation to Andre and to Daniel for their many hours of work on this, and on their previous security upgrade of Bugzilla.
I've done some quick testing, and to my surprise stuff like "Weekly bug summary" did not break. However, if you see new issues and problems please file a ticket: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia&component=...
The only (potential) regression is that we did not apply previous changes to Bugmail.pm, described as "Wikimedia Hack! Pretend global watchers are CCs so we can use their prefs to for instance ignore CC-only mails."
New features and improvements of this Bugzilla version: http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.2.4/release-notes.html#v42_feat
Happy bug reporting!

I want to emphasize a few of the improvements that I especially love, from those release notes:
- Displaying a bug with many dependencies is now much faster.
- After you edit a bug, the URL is automatically changed to show_bug.cgi
instead of process_bug.cgi or the like.
- User autocompletion is faster (like when you add a cc).
- Most changes made by BZ admins are now logged to the database, in the
audit_log table.
- We can disable older components, versions and milestones.
And we get more customizability to generally improve the look, feel, and workflow of Bugzilla. So, thanks for pushing this, Daniel and Andre!
