I forgot the details of the GUADEC. In general:
* I don't like pushing bugreports as-is upstream. Filing a good
  bugreport takes work. You need to include only the relevant
  information. If that isn't done, then the amount of time it takes
  stays the same, except that it is now with the developer. That is
  really bad.
* Pushing comments back and forth automatically: I fear the same could
  happen. E.g. the 'why isn't this fixed'?


Regarding Bugzilla 3:
* lack of time
* want to push some things upstream that upstream doesn't want upstream
  (attachment statuses)

What do you mean exactly? Which parts?

Bugzilla maintainer address is bugmaster gnome org  I prefer that so
past maintainers, inactive and future maintainers have all discussions
available/archived.

I looked at the patch for 3.2, and it includes a lot of changes that
shouldn't be in there. It basically removed a lot of documentation and
also changes some of the documentation (of Bugzilla). Did not check
further than that.
