My team and I need to work on a project whose bugs are filed in Bugzilla, using Mylyn.
Do you know of any tool or plug-in that provides scrum-inspired burndown charts to Bugzilla or Mylyn?
Hopefully, this tool would be free for commercial usage, but we're not closed to commercial tools.
Update: 4 hours of research allowed me to find very few free tools. Looks like bugzilla isn't popular in agile teams! And obviously, it's not the best fit.

A burndown chart is a tool used by Agile teams to gather information about both the work they have completed on a project and the work that is yet to be done within a given time period, or as Scrum teams call it, a Sprint.
A burndown chart shows the amount of work that has been completed in an epic or sprint, and the total work remaining. Burndown charts are used to predict your team's likelihood of completing their work in the time available. They're also great for keeping the team aware of any scope creep that occurs.
There are two types of burndown charts: Agile burndown charts and sprint burndown charts. An Agile burndown chart is used by Agile teams to enable tasks to move quickly. A sprint burndown chart is used by development teams when working in short sprints.
The Songbird project made a really good job of documenting how they customized their Bugzilla instance and developed tools to automatically generate daily reports, including burndown charts. They released their set of tools as ruby open-source code under the MIT license. Very interesting stuff, especially since it comes from a high-profile, important community project.
