Is bugzilla worth keeping?

Not at all.  Just because not enough people are doing bug
triage or fixing doesn't mean we should drop bugzilla.
Somebody will eventually go through the bug reports,
I think.

It would deprive us of long-term memory.  For instance, I filed the bug
report http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404 in January 2003
with a nice test case (but one that's hard to translate into a unit
test).  Without Bugzilla, we'd have a harder time remembering problems
like that.  (Unless cxtest really takes off, I suppose...)
