So here's the person who does.

If it's just the machine is dying why don't we just move it to a different
one ?

Maybe it's just our very broken installation which sucks, not the bug
tracker itself.  The Debian people seem to be happy with "their" bug tracker,
so we should try to find out whether it works for them and not for us.

And remember, Debbugs is GPL and Bugzilla is MPL.
