I can certainly see the upside to such a move.  A lot of CentOS bugs
are actually bugs that need to be re-filed upstream with RedHat.  If
we were to use bugzilla then it should be possible to simply change
the project from CentOS to RHEL in the bug itself rather than
requiring that it be re-filed n bugzilla, saving a lot of time and
grief and the ever present, "you've filed this bug in the wrong place,
go file it in bugzilla for RHEL".

The main downside I can see, and one I would like to make sure doesn't
happen before any such move is made is that the RedHat Bugzilla is
known to close off a lot of bugs which would better serve the
community if they were left public.  It seems like when I see a
bugzilla number mentioned in a RedHat changelog it is usually the case
that I cannot view the bug entry in bugzilla.  I would want to make
certain that CentOS bugs, as well as bugs that initially filed for
CentOS and then changed to RHEL, would remain publicly viewable except
in the most extreme security cases, and even then they should be
private for only as long as it takes to release a fix.
