Is bugzilla worth keeping?

IMHO, Bugzilla is usually more complex to use, also if it's a lot more clean
than using a mailing list, because here we can add dependencies and resolve
bugs.
Actually, I don't use it either, probably because I usually forget that
there's the Bugzilla :) I started using it to submit ebuilds to gentoo, and
then for KDE, before that I never used it.
It's also true that also posting on wine-users or wine-devel doesn'tmake
sure that the bug will be seen: I posted sometime requests for more info
about an error or a behaviour of a software under wine, but it's rare that
something is found out.
Also, there's still my patch for SHLWAPI floating around, because I hadn't
had the time to clean it up, but noone answered in the topic AFAICS
( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/22665 ).

Maybe a 'promotion' to the use of bugzilla can help address the bigger
issues.
