I'd like to go one step further. There is not a

come to believe that it's impossible to make one that anyone will be
happy with. That includes most developers of tracking systems too
(I've written one, and I hated it, though I liked it better than what
I was using before).
It is true: all bug trackers suck ...
We can complain about this till the end of time. This
discussion is
even worse than bikeshedding discussions. At least with bikeshedding
discussions you end up with a color for the bikeshed. When discussing
bug/issue trackers you just end up with the same tracker, or another
crappy tracker.
... however, some suck even more than others.
Given this, it should be possible to point it in the direction of sucking less.
What do we need to do to improve Bugzilla to our ends? What are the
bugs in our Bugzilla installation? Can we agree on them? Is there
anyone to work on them?
