Biggest Con is that infrastructure which already has limited resources would

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.

Actually, I think the Fedora Infrastructure team, from what I've
witnessed, is more the capable of doing this. Unless I'm totally
clueless (which I may be), if Fedora Infrastructure undertook running an
issue tracking system themselves, I do not think it would be the most
complex system in the whole project. I think they handle far more
challenging tasks on a day-to-day basis.
I think the misfiling of bugs would be far *less* if we had separate
issue trackers. What are the odds a Fedora user is going to file
something on Red Hat's Bugzilla, if they've never heard of it before (I
can understand, during the transition, a lot of this happening).
Likewise, who would file a bug for RHEL in Fedora's issue tracker, if
they're completely separate websites? Maybe I just didn't understand
what you meant here.
I definitely didn't think it was simple. Rather, I feel it is important
and we should make a goal to achieve.
And everyone keeps talking about bandwidth for Bugzilla. Am I missing
something? Are there huge binary files being transferred that I'm
missing? How many GB/day are we talking?
I believe allowing Fedora Infrastructure to run their own issue tracker
will result in a leaner & meaning instance that will likely run better
than Red Hat's, if only because it'll be fresher, but also because
they'll have greater control to suit the community's needs.
