AFAIK one of the reasons for mantis was also not to duplicate the reports within bugzilla.redhat.com and make sure all reports that also match for the Red Hat Enterprise Release get tracked "upstream".
Well, that is the reason to have our own bug tracker, but that is not the reason to have two different technical platforms for that.
As said: Mantis is a much more harmless beast to handle, at least at the time I last looked at bugzilla (somewhere in the middle of the bugzilla 2 cycle).
If that has changed and if the opinion of most people here is that it would be better to switch to bugzilla: Sure, if somebody (or more than one person) wants to help with it.
Speaking as the only System Engineer/Build Engineer/SCM maintainer/Bugzilla maintainer at my work, I can say that bugzilla is definitely not a full-time job. If you give me access to a c.o machine I could probably set one up in an afternoon.
We could phase out mantis, but beware: We don't just need a place to file CentOS 6 bugs against, we'd also need to track CentOS 4 and 5 bugs in there. And we'd need a few people to look at all still open bugs in b.c.o and decide if those should be taken over to a new bug reporting facility or not.
And I am not sure if we - at the moment - have the time to do that before 6 comes out.
It's not a good idea, period. This is something that centos should do according to our own schedule. Setting up a separate bugzilla instance just to receive abrt submissions is a way of taking back control over the timing of this important decision.
Helpful hands are always welcome.
