Erm, I must ask this.  Are you proposing to manage Mozilla's CA
approval process as though it were a CA itself?

I believe the entire concept of "Mozilla running a CA" has been
soundly rejected, time and time again.  Granted, the things that it
does -- managing the audits, the approvals, and whatnot -- are in line
with what any CA that operates under its approval process must do.  I
also must agree with you that Bugzilla doesn't have at least one of
the main features necessary for a system like EV management:
"ticklers" to remind when certain things are due (such as "receive a
copy of annual audit report for this CA", where each CA is
individually tickled/reminded).

However, Mozilla has never wanted to "own" a CA key and go through the
process of running a secure certification authority of its own.  The
concept of running the governance as though it were running such may
run into some roadblocks.
