We already have a tool for reporting issues and problems, and it's not bodhi. If there's a problem with an already pushed update, it needs to be in bugzilla - where it's actually discoverable - not in bodhi, where it will go nowhere.
I am not intending to use bodhi as a bug tracker, but I would like to be able to reference issues, which were introduced with an update and I don't really see a lot of negative effects of this. I think it's a way to make issues in bugzilla more easily traceable, since if an update is closely related with a new bug it is easier to just look into bodhi first and see if the issue affected others as well. If by chance the first reporter of a bug is too late in bodhi this connection is simply lost. I don't see it as bodhi replacing bugzilla, but rather as an additional entry point, when looking for known issues in close relation with a bug.

From the other side, as a maintainer, it is important to have as few channels for reporting issues as possible. Keeping everything in one place is important so nothing gets lost, and it all can be queried and triaged appropriately.
Please do not use bodhi as a bug reporting tool.
