@abcdw If you're packaging / developing for a Linux distribution there are a lot of bugs from users.

If you work on Debian / Ubuntu / ReadHat bugs are sorted by package, routed by developer, checked against other issues. There's the ability to create lists of bugs and search the DB by different types.

Issues is very generic and it works for "someone writing code", but distribution engineering is a bit different.

Along with the loss of #email - the move was worth it, but there's trade-offs.
