The initial conversation started with the fact that Bugzilla is old,
semi-deprecated, requires MySQL [no idea what's bad about it, Bugzilla
can work with MariaDB and Percona as well]
It can't, actually. It only works with MySQL 5.7 or an equally ancient MariaDB.
No, there is no official fix (because nobody is working on bugzilla).

Speaking of Bugzilla Harmony:
* KDE already uses it:
https://invent.kde.org/websites/bugs-kde-org/-/merge_requests/1
* Mozilla has been using it for quite time already
* It has a docker container/image, so it's a breeze to install
I've dealt with a dozen other bug trackers and to me Bugzilla remains
the most powerful and featureful, while not being too complicated to set
up and use.
Lastly I've had a crazy idea for a second of maybe migrating the kernel
bugzilla over to RedHat/IBM (by asking them whether they are willing to
help) but on a second thought it's really really bad as the company is
very large and there's a ton of bureaucracy, so managing it would become
quite a hassle. Also, I wouldn't want the LF to hand control over it to
RedHat.
Best regards,
