Unfortunately I can't share your experience. Any time I log in, having my e-mail address auto-filled into 'requester' and 'requestee', result is -> "No requests." Which isn't true of course. I have to search for "samba41" e.g., to find my own submission. The response time is in no way related to the kind of bug tracking system, at least not if it's about gnats vs. bugzilla. In my example case, response or any other form of activity is lagging more than what I was used to with gnats. My personal experience is, that in the last decade, not much has changed, since I found bugzilla to be one of the most inconvenient bug tracking systems out there in the early/mid 2000s (when my choice for various projects over decent time was "doublechocolate" :-) 'send-pr' encouraged/admonished/forced admins to deploy sensible mailhubs (internal DNS RRs) and gateway-masquerading. I've never seen that beeing wasted effort =96 it's always been beneficial for the whole infratructure and the admins' skills :-) If you once read send-pr and submitted your first PR, it was easy and clear how to fill out subsequent PRs. In my opinion, much more clearly than with bugzilla, where I have to rethink all the bells and whistles each time (btw, what does 'triage' mean?!?). I haven't had to look into bug tracking systems for some years, but since I was now urged to deal with bugzilla, I fear this choice was one of the quick ones. But maybe the developers profit from the change.
