Hi, Some people have already written part of what I'll say but I'll give a quick POV anyway. 1. a single centralised database is *good*. This allows bugs to be reassigned at need without loosing history (eg networking does not work and investigation reveals its because of broken irq routing...). The easiest way right now to kill a report is to ask to move it to another mailing list. 2. bugs are never lost/ignored. They might move from maintainer to maintainer but at least no one can feel "it involves x y z - I maintain x but y or z maintainer are better suited to handle it, let them do it" 3. single human point-of-failure is a false problem - using a mailing list as default assignee can help spread the load (one could say this negates 2. but a small group of QA can insure no bug is left sleeping overlong) 4. bugzilla is well known - it might have its warts but they are less annoying for the average user that to have to learn rt... interface.
