Neither of those things are integral to any workflow, and are entirely optional. But when you file a bug, you rely on bugzilla being maintained by Gentoo Infra, not some 3rd party. And when you file a keyword/stable request, you rely on a bugzilla-integrated functionality through nattka to check and verify keywords. Subsequently, whether or not you opted into this, nattka is now critical to the workflow of everyone doing keywording/stable requests. You can't really say that about pkgcore or openrc. But you can say that about the QA Automated Testing service, which mangles gentoo.git and creates sync/gentoo.git, and reports when people broke the tree. And that *uses* pkgcore. But I'm pretty sure that infrastructure lives on gentoo "somewhere", and if it doesn't, it should.
