Just meditating a little ... one of my big beefs with Bugzilla is that
it shows basically a historical record of how a bug was discovered and
dealt with. While that surely has, er, historical value, it's not that
useful to read when you want to know which bug matches your symptoms,
what the possible consequences are, which versions it was fixed in,
etc. One particularly nasty point is that (AFAIK) it's impossible to
delete or edit incorrect comments, only to add new ones.
I wonder whether a better model would be a wiki page per bug, with
an editable description and some links to reports, commits, etc.
Not but what I hate every wiki I've ever used too ... but at least
they let you fix the information when it's wrong or unhelpful.
