The main issue that this is meant to solve is that many of the people working on openSUSE development have stopped paying as much attention to the factory mailing list because it is full of foo is broken in tumbleweed posts and they don't care about those.
Hmm seems to be counter intuitive "work on openSUSE developemnt, "do not care about 'foo is broken' reports by fellow developers or users".
The aim is more making sure the right people get to care about the issue, for example there is currently no guarantee the maintainer of foo is using this list and will see the problem until someone creates a bug report anyway. Currently instead the 90% of developers who don't use or care about foo have one more email thread that they have to ignore which eventually leads to them mostly ignoring the factory list and inevitably missing important development discussions.
By creating bugzilla entries for the issue then the right people know about the issue straight away and if they believe it will have a significant impact on most users / developers they can choose to post a warning to the list.
It is as simple as after the peer review on the mail list, someone tells the poster "yes, this seems a bug, please report on bugzilla". Most people do so. The devs then get real reports on bugzilla. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
