That's a horrible idea. It should be simple enough to determine, at a project leadership level: - What do we have bugzilla for? As a service for developers? As a service for problem reporting for users? What is the relative priority of these? - Do we prefer to optimize for the ease of use and convenience of our users, or our developers? - Do our competitors offer consolidated bug tracking, and then interface with upstreams? Is it worth differing from them? etc. Weigh the answers to those questions at a project leadership level and make a decision. There's no need for it to come down to a binary vote, much like the switch from cvs to git wasn't voted on, and many other similar decisions.
