Some notes for anyone looking into this:

Bugzilla on bugs.webkit.org has a number of local modifications (which aren't always identified by comments) that must be merged into a new version and then qualified in a test environment before being deployed.  The custom templates are the most difficult to merge because they're not modified in place, so the changes have to be reapplied to new copies of the updated templates.

Many of the local modifications should have bugs (enhancement requests) filed on <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/> so that we can eventually get out of the business of local modifications to make upgrades easier.

There are some notes here on how to upgrade, but it may be easier to take a diff of the changes against 3.2.3 and then apply them to 4.0:  <http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UpdatingBugzilla>.

After it's deployed, there is usually fallout from the UI changing in the form of complaints, and you'll rarely get any accolades for finishing the update.  (Just something to look forward to. :)
