I think that at least initially people will continue to post bug
reports to the lyx-devel list.  These can be added to bugzilla by
someone (me, someone else).  With nautilus development (before eazel
went under) people who posted bugs would usually:

1) add it to bugzilla and note the bugid.
2) join irc chat and ask someone to look at it.
3) e-mail the list saying "Anyone had a look at %(bugid)"

So while the mailing list is still a good way to 'discuss' bugs,
"Have you seen 1453" is much easier than "Have you had a look at the
crash you get when you triple click on a math formula within a wide
inset."

If you really hate using web interfaces, Bugzilla has a 'whine'
setting, so if you really want you can be nagged via e-mail when you
have items outstanding. :)
