I introduced the switch-over as per this ticket
https://fedorahosted.org/fedoracommunity/ticket/381

The site (called fedora-packages, the successor to fedoracommunity)
has been up for almost a year and we were mistaken in thinking enough
developers had used it that the kinks had been worked out.

You're quite right about this being poor timing.  I just reverted
the alias, so bugz.fedoraproject.org/package-name should work again
(using the pkgdb site).  We'll hammer on the fedora-packages app
some more during freeze to try and get it up-to-snuff.

For the curious, part of the motivation for making a change at all is
that the pkgdb app has undergone feature creep over time.  Its
codebase is older and needs a port/rewrite to a more modern framework.
We're hoping to trim some of it's features which already exist in other
apps (like this bugs reporting feature), scale it down, and rewrite
the core as a more maintainable unit.. the core being acl controls.
