Better don't mention that.

If it stays read-only. But so far it's a developers-internal tool.

Otherwise it will lead to ineffective and cluttered bug reports.
It is much easier to understand the problem if analyzed here and then 
maybe posted by the developer, who understands the real problem and 
might want to use bugzilla. If at all.
