What I find terrible about the bugzilla experience compared to any
forge bug tracker is the default entry point to it for users is not
simply the list of bugs in the component. The search facility is the
frontend and IMHO that immediately degrades the experience compared
to the integrated bug trackers. Regardless of what else BZ offers,
it is hard to accept that entrypoint as a desirable experience.

Conceptually I find the co-location of bug tracker, code and merge
request to be a compelling mechanism to encourage collabaration
with users. The provides a conceptual nudge for users, towards
looking at the code and opening a MR, rather than merely opening
a bug and doing nothing more. I'd willingly sacrifice BZ features
to get that improved integration

With regards,
Daniel
