The criteria for our new PR system were:

 - it had to be better than GNATS.
 - it had to be free and open-source.
 - it had to have some degree of community support (outside of FreeBSD).
 - it had to be better than the other alternatives that met the above.

I wasn't involved in the Bugzilla installation, but I was involved in the
previous round of discussions on how to replace it.

The first one, everyone agreed on*.  The second one and third ones, most people
agreed on.  The fourth one, everyone had their own opinions and the one was
picked that the least number of people found objectionable.

My own opinion after years of working on various PR systems is that they are
all terrible.  I also read the big caution "Do not write your own!" on one web
page as being a sad story from experience.

(At one time I did try to customize a non-open-source alternative to our needs:
the effort failed.)

So, while I understand that Bugzilla is frustrating to use, I honestly believe
we made the best decision possible at the time, given the resources we had.

* a low bar, to be sure.
