OK, so what is needed to switch to eg. Bugzilla?  Nobody has yet has
spoken out in favour of keeping Debbugs, although it has been suggested
that flaky hardware may be part of the problem.

Is better hardware available if we switch to Bugzilla?

I have already said that I can put some time into shifting existing bugs
out of debbugs.  I've installed Bugzilla on my machine to have a fiddle,
but I don't have a working version of debbugs.  Is there any chance of
getting access to bugs.gnome.org so that I can see what is needed to get
the bugs out of there?

cheers,
