I think there is some bias here to say that “a lot have not gone into Bugzilla” because people who may complain about Bugzilla are of course more vocal than those who went ahead, made an account (or already had one), and filed a bug. Also, the “a lot” above is definitely overestimated, because you do not seem to be taking into account that among the people who cannot be bothered to file a bug report in Bugzilla, many would not file it in GitHub either (nor GitLab, nor anything else). Good software gets its job done and is mostly invisible and boring: you use it, but don't think twice about it, nor there is any need to write about it. Bugzilla is among the kind of software that is good at what it does without getting in the way, so of course it does not have hype. It's only when one starts to seriously think about the allegedly “shiny” alternatives that all the small annoyances start becoming evident (the list shared by Konstantin is a perfect example).
