Bugzilla is very unfriendly to use for Wikimedians (users).

You need to

• register separately, for which you currently require a trash mail address -

see [[bug:29852]] - and

• watching bugs and
• wikisyntax does not work.
• Native language interface is not supported.

This hinders many users from participating, reporting and discussing bugs here.
Also me until I took the time, registered a trash mail address and created an
account here...

Is it possible to embed the bugzilla in Mediawiki? Then it would also be
accessible simply via SUL without a separate registration. If it could be
embedded on every local project even the watching would work. What about
[[mw:Extension:SVNIntegration]] (found by [[:de:Benutzer:DrTrigon]])?

You don't "require a trash mail address", you only "need" one if you want to remain "anonymous", for which, a lot of people don't actually care

That extension is also nothing to do with bugzilla in MW.

I think BZ supports other languages, but this is seemingly not enabled, as it seems to only list en for email language

Wiki syntax does work, look at your post, wikilinks are linked correctly. Amazing, huh? And I'm not sure why we'd need a 100% implementation of wiki syntax in a bug tracker

Having said that, SUL would be nice/a good idea.

Some of the other problems you list, are issues in BZ itself

Watching would need more code to then tie it into Special:Watchlist

Sorry my misstake; the extensions mw:Extension:Bugzilla_Reports and mw:Extension:AuthBugzilla should have been mentioned (in place of mw:Extension:SVNIntegration) as done in bug 27001 e.g.

Thanks for your comment, Reedy.

I do care and the other half lot people do care, too.

Sorry, see DrTrigon's reply.

That is amazing - indeed. I thought it does not because I didn't find a preview function?!

Maybe in BZ itself - but this does not really matter for the endusers. ;)

Having SUL and watchlist and (therefore) do not have the need for a mail address would be a very great fix for having a better communication with the projects' members.

A lot of people in the Community want to stay anonymous. Just look at their user names. I would give you a link to [[Special:ActiveUsers]] but unfortunately this special page was removed due to Bug 41078

Wiki syntax does work

Only very limited
