Hey,
I am just curious whether you have already considered moving
from Bugzilla to the Github issue system and where your current
opinion is.
Con:
- Bugzilla is working fine
- More than five years of history
- Github doesn't have voting yet (it's supposed to come soon)
Pro:
- Unified issue tracking (source code, PR, issues)
- Some handy features (mentioning users, markdown, reference,
...) [1]
I know that manpower is very limited, but there a couple of
migration scripts existing [2,3].
In any case I am just interested where you stand on this issue
;-)

As a simple user I can say that it would be worst. Currently
bugzilla is **very permissive** (and that's a good thing !). Once
you're registered you can open, close, assign any issue. On GH
only members of an organization can really do stuff on bugs.
About the first Con: the bot already links PR and bugzilla
(auto-close, notification when a PR references an issue).
