I'd also like to know this information. Being a Bugzilla admin and helping
out with the bug workflow and security issues and whatnot has always been
something I've wanted to do. But if the WMF is trying to consolidate for
some reason...

This wasn't a sudden removal - Andre discussed it with ops and emailed
*every* admin first, so it's far less dramatic than you may think. He's
also been working on
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Bugzilla_administrator_rights_policy,
which I believe has approval from the relevant
people (I'm can't think
who
that is off the top of my head).
Be that as it may, it still would have been nice for this to be publically
discussed (or at least publically announced) especially given the current
political controversies surounding rights removals from wmf services.
