So, here's hoping > this doesn't turn into a flame fest! Biggest Con is that infrastructure which already has limited resources would need to run it. AFAIK we have no one with experience that could setup and run a bugzilla/ other bug tracking system. this is largely the reason why we have not done it. The other reason its not been done is that we need a way to move bugs to Red Hat's bugzilla and move from Red Hat's bugzilla to whatever we run. people misfile bugs. they effect fedora and rhel and need cloning. there is alot of extra bits needed that you seem to not have considered. Step 1 find people to do the work, Step 2 do an analysis of the needed workflows. Step 3 find hardware, bandwidth and all needed resources Step 4 setup system, and migration plans Just trying to point out its not as simple as you seem to think.
