OK, thanks for these informations.
From a user perspective, having this volume of devel mails flooding all the bugs mail is very annoying.
And following the status of a bug and the history of this bug is very hard too.
The bugzilla approach is really useful for the user who is reporting bugs: all the bugs are tracked, you can see if a bug has been already filled and put some additional informations if necessary.

I will have a look at the JIRA thing.

Well, no, the real answer is that for those who actually write code and
apply patches, an e-mail based workflow is simpler: Git has tools to
apply patches right from Unix mailboxes, so one is able to just save a
thread with the final patch series to a file and apply it.  Some people
also prefer discussing patches inline -- in the same e-mail thread
the patch series being discussed had started.

I'm aware of at least one big project sporting the same approach
to handling bugs -- PostgreSQL.

But there was an announcement that an experimental JIRA instance has
been set up for Git [1].  I'm not sure what its current status is, but
you could look at it.

Also Git's mirror on github [2] supposedly provides for pull requests.
Again, not sure whether/how they're handled.
