I'd also like to know this information. Being a Bugzilla admin and helping out with the bug workflow and security issues and whatnot has always been something I've wanted to do. But if the WMF is trying to consolidate for some reason...

I've just found out that WMF's Bugmeister Andre Klapper removed "nearly everyone"'s Bugzilla adminship (and people with root access on the
servers
now have access to a file which contains login details for an
'emergency
admin' account). So I have some questions:
This wasn't a sudden removal - Andre discussed it with ops and emailed *every* admin first, so it's far less dramatic than you may think. He's also been working on
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Bugzilla_administrator_rights_policy,
which I believe has approval from the relevant people (I'm can't think
who
that is off the top of my head).
Be that as it may, it still would have been nice for this to be publically discussed (or at least publically announced) especially given the current political controversies surounding rights removals from wmf services.
