As I said in another mail, Launchpad isn't better in all respects, it's
not a simple decision. Also, currently Bugzilla is shared with Red Hat
and hence benefits from management by dkl and other RH staff; I doubt RH
would switch from Bugzilla, so if Fedora wanted to adopt something RH
could not use, Fedora would have to provide the person-hours to
implement and maintain the new system.

It'd be nice to have better handling for this in a future Bugzilla
release, but I think it might require considerable internal changes,
though I'm not an expert; it doesn't strike me as something simple to
patch in.
