Sorry for the confusion, they aren't proposing changing the project's
bug tracking tool, that's orthogonal. This is just the usual thing of
a project wanting a way to track tasks (in this case, editing and
approving content) and trying to work with the current range of
possible open source solutions.

I raised the point on the centos-docs discussion that it would be a
bit of overhead on the sysadmins to run another bug tracking tool,
which is why we're now discussing other options.
