Hey,
I am just curious whether you have already considered moving
from Bugzilla to the Github issue system and where your current
opinion is.
I HATE Github issues. When they are not filled with unhelpful,
annoying, and signal drowning comments like "+1" and tens of
gifs, they are useless in other ways, such as not allowing
attachments, providing no priority mechanism, and providing no
mechanism for reporting OS and version with the bug. The biggest
issue is that the project maintainers have to tag everything as
either an enhancement request, regression, etc. That means that a
least one mod would have to scan each issue to signal what it is
to contributors. That's a dramatic increase in needed effort.
Having bugzilla on a separate service also increases the cost of
making comments enough that low info posts aren't made, but not
high enough that bugs aren't reported.
