Bugzilla started to become a liability when the OE bugzilla maintainer
didn't want patches to get reviewed on the mailing list and actually started
closing bugs as 'resolved' or 'wontfix' after people dared to post a patches
to the mailing list.
With a maintainer like that a bugzilla is useless. Thankfully Rolf
disappeared from the OE project, but the damage was already done.

As you pointed out, OE-core is tracking its bugs in the yocto bugzilla with
pretty graphs and such. Other layers may use different tools to track bugs,
it's up to the maintainers to decide what works best for them.

regards,

Koen
