I'm using it as much as people submitting to it are. I don't use it for my own bugs I find, because I fix them as I find them, and going through the process of submitting a bug for myself, and then marking it as fixed immediately seems rather silly.
Some time ago, in our company, they forced us to make entries in the bug tracker even for our own bugs, which we found by ourselves. At first I thought this is silly, too. But now, I have changed my mind. It is more work for the developers (however, compared to reproducing, fixing, debugging and testing, it's not much), but it greatly helps the project, because issues can be better tracked. Other people (also other devs) find this information in the bug tracker very useful and it also helps for the release notes.
<shrug> I just like using the commit message for that sort of thing. It'll be seen by more people (everyone on the commits list) than a bug that I open/close immediately (only me, the way bugzilla's configured).
On the other hand, someone can still bring up a closed bug in the Bugzilla search. So if I am having a problem with captions I can go over to Bugzilla and see if someone has fixed it, and if the fix is small enough I might consider applying the patch to my otherwise fine build rather than doing a full CVS update and hoping that something else isn't broken at the moment.
