Bug tracking and management systems are operated by people, and that sophistication (complexity) you see is there for reasons. Reason #1 is that a collection of emails filed into folders is not an adequate bug tracking and management system. Jitterbug works that way, and I have to admit it sucks on many levels. I'm just too busy to change over.
If you have a problem with the Bugzilla that PCB folks are using, then tough for you. The people on the busy side of that system are all volunteers trying to work in an open and transparent way, and are using what tools they have at hand to do that. If they were to resort to a pile of sticky notes walpapering a bedroom, then you'd have *no* access to the system.
If you think you can manage the PCB bug tracking system better, then by all means please do. None of us developers enjoy them in the least, we would rather be coding and would gladly hand bug database management to a reliable volunteer. By all means please show us how stupid we are by doing our job better.
