Hmmm... Not being able to distinguish the difference between a bug tracker and a wiki based on the skins being similar is a point of view I have a hard time understanding.
Having read quite a few bug reports written in wikitext (which mostly doesn't work in Bugzilla, except for [[links]]), I would encourage a clearer distinction between the wikis and the bug tracker. I don't want to give people the impression that what they're reporting bugs on is really a quirky wiki variant: the bug tracker not only uses different syntax, but also has different policies, procedures and protocols.
It occurs to me that one option would be going the other way: the CodeReview extension already seems to have about 50% of the features a basic but functional bug tracker would need, including a couple of nice ones that our Bugzilla currently lacks (like, you know, comment preview, ability to use wiki markup and, well, code review). Yes, turning it into a full-featured issue tracker and project management tool would take some substantial work, but then, switching to a new project management tool and customizing it to fit our needs isn't quite a 15 minute job either. Just something to consider... :-)
