Actually, I think the Fedora Infrastructure team, from what I've witnessed, is
more the capable of doing this. Unless I'm totally clueless (which I may be),
if Fedora Infrastructure undertook running an issue tracking system
themselves, I do not think it would be the most complex system in the whole
project. I think they handle far more challenging tasks on a day-to-day
basis.
Nothing personal but you're not in a position to make this judgement.
We've not even setup a test version populated with data about the size
that would be required for Fedora so no analysis of what we could or could
not do has been done.

I think the misfiling of bugs would be far *less* if we had separate
issue
trackers. What are the odds a Fedora user is going to file something on Red
Hat's Bugzilla, if they've never heard of it before (I can understand, during
the transition, a lot of this happening). Likewise, who would file a bug for
RHEL in Fedora's issue tracker, if they're completely separate websites?
Maybe I just didn't understand what you meant here.
I definitely didn't think it was simple. Rather, I feel it is important and
we should make a goal to achieve.
And everyone keeps talking about bandwidth for Bugzilla. Am I missing
something? Are there huge binary files being transferred that I'm missing?
How many GB/day are we talking?
I believe allowing Fedora Infrastructure to run their own issue tracker will
result in a leaner & meaning instance that will likely run better than Red
Hat's, if only because it'll be fresher, but also because they'll have
greater
control to suit the community's needs.
