I stopped using OE bugzilla when the maintainer at that time was closing
bugs because patches were posted to the mailinglist for review instead
of attached to bugzilla.
So if the new maintainers are crazy like that bugzilla will be useless.

Maybe we can use something like trac or redmine to have it more
integrated with the SCM. Hell, we could even abuse patchwork as
bugtracker :)
