Yeah, we frequently had that problem with Gaia issues as part of Firefox
OS. Reviews were done on GitHub's PR so the bugzilla entries were often
empty (even for bugs with huge, complex patch-sets). To gather any kind
of information one had to go and check the comments on the PR itself
which not only was less-than-optimal but made life a lot harder for
those not directly involved with development.

It's not a dealbreaker for me but it's something that should be kept in
mind.
