Attached is the first release of bugzilla.alert.  As its name suggests, it
is used to file alerts in bugzilla.  

We've found that using bugzilla is a much better method of dispatching
outage notices and tracking outage data (and fixes!) than the standard mon
tools offer.  In conjunction with internal per-service monitoring mechanisms
(which are proprietary to us, but called by mon) this works wonderfully for
large scale system administration.

If you have any questions or comments regarding, or patches to this script,
please send them to me.
