Tweaking the attachment dialog (and in particular the error message
when one tries to upload a file bigger than the set limit) should be
straightforward once we have our bugzilla code living in a git

migrated to TDF infra.

Cool. We can talk particulars in the future...

+1 from my side.  I'll make a note of this on the Migration page.
