How can I change the privacy notice in both the site and email messages? My instance is not public facing. I don't like this:
PRIVACY NOTICE: Bugzilla is an open
bug tracking system. Activity on most
bugs, including email addresses, will
be visible to the public. We recommend
using a secondary account or free web
email service (such as Gmail, Yahoo,
Hotmail, or similar) to avoid
receiving spam at your primary email
address.

I have found a small, yet annoying issue with Facebook Page Ads (details below) and I would like to report this to Facebook. How can I do this?
Fifteen minutes of search lead me to only tools for reporting security vulnerabilities, developers API bugs and to some misleading texts in Facebook Help (where title and introduction says something like "If you want to report a bug, you're in a right place", but then only links to some texts follows and there is no link to any real bug reporting tool).

How can I get the list of all tickets I submitted on SourceForge?
I tried almost everything in the profile but don't see my tickets. The Profile / activity tab shows just "No activity to display". The closest I can get is Account settings / Subscriptions, which shows tickets I get notification from - but I might have unsubscribed from my own tickets, so it might be that some are not listed.
PS: I have added new ticket now and at least I see that it is added to subscriptions automatically. But this is not sufficient.

JIRA has graphs showing the evolution of created/closed issues:
Does Github have the same kind of graph?
If not, is it available on a third-party website, or generatable via a script?

I could have sworn that I stumbled upon documentation for Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) REST API at some point, but can't seem to find it now. I can only seem to find stuff on their .NET SDK.
Does Team Foundation Server have a REST API for reading, creating, and editing work items?

I tried creating a troubleshooting tree in Google Forms but appear to be unable to embed either pictures or links.
I wanted to create a tree wherein users get directed to different nodes with further suggestions and questions depending on their earlier answers, similar to (but hopefully more useful than) the Microsoft Windows troubleshooter. If they are unable to resolve the problem themselves, I would like to receive an email or for a ticket or spreadsheet row to be created with the answers they provided.
I am the volunteer webmaster for a co-op preschool and receive many similar support requests, such as parents being unable to see the calendar for their child's class. I created detailed guides that I can't get people to read. Instead, everyone just emails me without giving me any of the details I need to solve the problem.
If this isn't possible to do in Google Forms, I'm open to other tools or services which can create tickets/emails as outlined above.
Other posts such as building a support section to a website and small business online support apps are too bulky, and would prefer a lighter-weight solution if it's a no go in Google Forms.

Are there any open source Pivotal Tracker clones that people have experience using or think might be good, with essentially the same features?
Key features are:
- Automatically popping tasks out of a certain time window, based on complexity, dragging based priority and number of tasks estimated possible to do, based on actual past progress.
- One view with (preferably split by this sprint, next sprint, and later tasks)
- Projection of future iterations and release dates
- The User story, Minimum Viable Product focus
- Simplicity

In Trac 0.11 is there a way to list wiki pages matching a certain pattern in the title?
For example say we want a dynamically generated index page showing every page in the wiki with 'Cheese' in the title. In pseudo code: [[search(title=*cheese*,*Cheese*)]]
would yield:
- CheeseShop
- WhineAndCheese
- Shop/cheese
- ...
Basically I'm looking for the wiki equivalent of the TicketQuery system, for a stock install and no ability to install plugins or modify the file system. From reading WikiMacros it looks like this should be possible using TitleIndex or even RecentChanges, but my attempts so far keep coming up with empty results. I can't tell if what I'm trying is flat out not possible or my syntax is messed up. If the latter, working examples would be appreciated.

I think I have some bugs to report when I use it but I wonder where to report those bugs. Where should I report a Google Plus bug?
