I'm in favour of a bugzilla aswell. I'm reading this list for a couple
of months now and the thing that that stands out most is the 
'god attitude' of the core developers. I'm a software engineer
in my day job and hate testers just as much as every other
programmer but time and time again testers and their structured
way of testing and reporting bugs, making issue lists prioritizing
bugs and feature requests contribute a lot to a project. They are
the ones that make sure the system is more usable and stable.

Using bugzilla is just a next step in the maturity of the project.

The words I keep reading here are 'looking forward to your
patch'. That might be a good method but I think that being
more open to newcommers and not shutting the door in
their face might actually benefit the project. These newcommers
might one day add that wonderfull feature that the 'gods'
had never thought about but will gladly use like all other
users.

C'ya,

    Ronald
