How should the devs know which communities have an
Arbcom that needs to approve the bug?  I think any
system put in here needs to, by default, not interfere
with the devs doing their work.  Giving communities
more opportunities to raise a flag before
implementaion is good.  But requiring the devs check
with X before every implementation, or any process
external to Bugzilla, is bad.
