OK if none of the targets 'likes' it, why keep it running?

Parent article: A plan for the kernel Bugzilla

What if the kernel bugzilla was turned off on January 1st 2023. What would happen to kernel development? Would developers start getting more burned out because people are directly emailing every developer listed in git? Would development improve because there is one less burning hatred they have for the outside world :)?

Turning off Bugzilla would piss off those of us that still use it, but to your point about too many emails, the Linux kernel mailing list gets over 1000 emails a day. I personally get over 100 kernel specific emails a day, so your answer is "No".

I forgot to add that if all current Bugzilla submissions were to go to the mailing lists and maintainers today, it would still be within the noise of the flow of current emails.
