Bugzilla is our tracking tool of record. I'm personally rather bullish about bugzilla improvements, now that the 4.2 upgrade is done and we have solid people working on it and making weekly improvements.
Yeah. It has its share of flaws, but it's also battle-tested, and has had significant recent improvements recently. I'd also given up on it in the past, but it's on a better path now.
Multiple tools end up being confusing, and reliance on external tools carries risk that if they shut down we'll lose important history. (This is already Not Fun when spelunking in old Mozilla code, and finding that something landed without any bug number to explain what it was doing or why, nor context of the thinking or issues that let to the change.)
I think it's fine (good, even!) to have small / experimental projects try new things, but the expectation should be that once those projects become non-experimental / production, they should return to the usual tools. (And we should be improving / expanding the usual tools to meet modern requirements.)
