I got to be part of an effort to modernize WebKit Bugzilla and we just launched it over the weekend on http://bugs.webkit.org

#AMA about modernizing a 20 year old bug tracking system.

@jondavis Why Bugzilla is still the option for some projects, like WebKit, rather than relying on a git forge for everything including bug tracking?

@tareef Oh I missed this somehow.

It's mostly about the significant custom tooling and process added to it over years of use. The loss of certain productivity flows makes for a very high bar when considering switching to another platform.
