I'm not a big developer, but I do try to improve the OSM software stack
(mostly t at h client and maplint) and I get to own all the osmarender bugs
in trac. From that perspective I have to say that I really dislike
bugzilla and that I was really glad when I found out that OSM uses trac
for its bugtracking. Unless we find a REALLY compelling reason to switch
I'd stay with trac.

I'd rather have a seperated bugzilla for tracking bugs in the data and a
trac for tracking bugs in the software. At that point I should probably
add that it would be a good thing if we could migrate all the user
databases to one single location and do authentication against that.
