Bugzilla still exists. And if you think something is the wrong thing to copy, just copy the "right" thing yourself.

It's also valid to make a comment where a bunch of developers might see it, and hope one of them agrees and has the time and skills to do it.

Or maybe just to reach someone who never used bugzilla and doesn't realize it's light-years better than jira or rally.

That's valid, but saying that a product a few developers created for FREE, and made open source so anyone could copy and change is the "wrong thing to copy" is just disrespectful.

One of the problems of Jira is that it allows you to make any workflow for its issues.

Bugzilla had a "this is how it's done, and that it is" attitude to bug tracking workflow - it wasn't configureable. As such, it couldn't be perverted into a dozen gates with different approvals needed for each gated step.

It's really easy to copy Bugzilla's structure into Jira. It is very difficult to keep management from changing it into something else in Jira.
