Hello!
I don't see whether this has been discussed before,
but PLEASE could Cygwin get a bug tracker (BUGZILLA!)?

the bandwidth of current maintainers is the major constraint
The current bugtracker is this mailing list

Yeah, from a project administrator and project management viewpoint
this is just stupid.
A bug tracker like Bugzilla would improve the "little bandwidth" the
maintainers have, by organising them better. It would make them more
efficient. That said, PLEASE don't use JIRA or AZURE bugtracker, that
would be an overkill and lead to worse performance. Just plain old
Bugzilla.

Maybe, but it works for us.

You are assuming that we are a coordinated large team.
We are few maintainers working very asynchronous

From what I've seen from entering bugs into various BugZilla and similar
systems, that's where bugs go to be ignored, perhaps discussed, marked WONTFIX
or low priority, and left to linger, often for years or decades, before being
addressed or just closed.
Volunteer project managers each have their own priorities and availability, and
volunteer developers each have their own interests and availability, and they
may not align, so developers may not jump in to deal with what project managers
think need handled, and sometimes volunteers wear both hats, so have to decide
how much of their limited time to spend on each role.
At least on this list, users, maintainers, and developers can have a discussion,
when they have time available to respond, and if agreed, provide a fix in a
reasonable timeframe for the next stable release, with test snapshots or
releases often available frequently.
