Search the dri-devel archives of half-year ago and you'll know why...

In summary, we reached no agreement on how bugs should be
reported/handled. Some people (including myself) had hope that a bug
tracking system based on Bugzilla could gather more acceptance, but it
was difficult to setup and we didn't had the human/techical resources to
set it up.

That's why I cheered this announcement, although I know that in the end
it depends solely on the DRI developers - the availability of a Bugzilla
bug tracking system doesn't warrant that history doesn't repeat, and
everything just remains the same.
