Bugzilla is a pretty heavy package to maintain, because of this:
upstream deprectates quickly major releases while Debian provides a
long-time support.

This is one of the major reason why I orphaned Bugzilla in the first
place: that needs a big amount of non-stopping work. I do think this
must be handled by a team rather by a one-person maintainer.

That's why I frist tried to set up a Webapps Team to maintain the
package but there was no volunteers to join the maintenance.

Good luck with it.

Tell me if I can help anyways.

Regards,
