I realise a total rewrite isn't for the most part what people are 
gunning for on this thread, but some may be thinking it, so I thought 
I'd repeat my response on Twitter at the time:

That's not to say other bug trackers *don't* suck, and maybe "mutate the 
codebase into something awesome" could also be a cool project, but it's 
worth weighing that effort against hacking on bugzilla (to pick a 
semi-random example) in a sustainable way, and getting two-way flow from 
other projects using the same codebase.
