I'm totally in favor of better tools and real pull requests, and of
course the PRs need to be linked to bugzilla /somehow/.

But I want to qualify "integration into bugzilla": I explicitly do not
want a tool that is tightly coupled to bugzilla.  In fact, I want a
tool that has as little to do with bugzilla as feasible.

I mean no disrespect to our bugzilla maintainers, who have an
impossible and largely thankless job, but bugzilla has so much baggage
from the '90s, my experience is that it ruins everything it touches.
Consider for example how much better harthur's fileit and dashboard
tools [1] [2] are than bugzilla's built-in equivalents.

We shouldn't conflate owning the PR data with integrating the PR tool
into bugzilla.  If we do, we risk ending up with yet another crappy
non-solution to a real problem (see bugzilla interdiff, splinter
integration, and so on).
