Re: Proposed: move web audio spec versioning and issues to Github

As far as I know Github installs GitZilla as a repository hook.  You can
enter the Bugzilla server address and a username/password which has access
to the bugs, and that's it.  See below which summarizes the help screen
that I see for this in Github:

This service hook posts comments on Bugzilla bugs when commit messages
reference a bug by id number.

Bugs are recognised by the following formats, which are case-insensitive:

   - Ticket 123
   - Bug 123
   - Tracker item 123

Multiple bugs can also be specified by separating them with a comma,
apersand, plus or "and":

   - Bug 123, 124 and 125

If the "Integration Branch" option is filled in, only commits to that branch
will result in bugs being modified. This is useful for disabling premature
bug
closing/comments when working on feature branches.

If "Integration Branch" is not set, commits to *all* branches will be
processed. If you only want to update Bugzilla when you push to your "main"
branch: you probably want to set this to "master".

If the central repository option is enabled and there is a "fix",
"close", or "address" before the bug then that bug is closed.

If a commit has already been mentioned in the bug comments when pushed
by another user then a comment isn't made, unless the central repository
option is enabled. In this case only the first line of the commit message
is included in the bug comment.

This hook requires Bugzilla version >= 3.4 to function correctly
and >= 4.0 to be able to close bugs.

Also note that this gives us more than just email notifications, this hook
can close bugs when somebody pushes a fix for them and actually comments on
the bug with a link to the github commit which is really nice.
