Isn't it kind of silly to suggest not using Bugzilla without an
alternative?  I think Aleksey did a good job of pointing out the
shortcomings of the current system, and Bugzilla seems like a big
improvement.  In the absence of something better, what else should be
done?

As for the specific problems, maybe it has a little extra cruft on the
emails, but that hardly seems fatal.
