The situation with bugzilla is quite bad. The rate at which bugs are
opened is a LOT higher then the rate of bugs that can be fixed. This
adds a lot of bugs that won't ever be fixed.

The situation also isn't helped by the fact that a lot of the newly
generated bug reports are not of good enough quality. Example: "My
obscure app doesn't do xxx", without for example mentioning what the app
is, or a link to a demo, or insufficient information to really reproduce
the bug.

The situation isn't improved by the fact that bugs are reopened by those
persons after minimal additions. Perhaps we should have a bug
moderation? Only allow bugs that follow the criterion, then have a way
for bugzilla admins to accept bug reports and then a new bug report
entry is created in bugzilla.
