The thread happened on foundation-list. I cc-ed it here when this came
up, but since no-one replied it didn't matter.

Luis pointed out that In No Way and Over His Dead Body would the
bugsquad donate time to other projects :-) since GNOME bugzilla still
needs as much help as it can get; nevertheless he said if individuals
wanted to donate time to other projects that makes sense too although
there is a sharp learning curve per-project.

Jim Gettys implied that the chance for an XFree bugzilla is remote since
the developers feel the startup costs would waste too much time.

There's my masterly summary of a thread that you could just read the
archives for :-) I'm too kind.
