I think most people are much more comfortable with entering bug reports
via a web interface than with something like gccbug (not that I doubt
gccbug is useful for some).
Anyway, my vote is for the "Oh man, please" category. I would love to
see bugzilla up and running as soon as possible. I'm a sporadic user of
GNATS but I could see myself making far better use of the database with
bugzilla.
If it is going to be run in parallel to GNATS for a trial period, it
might be best to not import the old database into the new system while
the old one is still "live". I can see headaches occuring if we end up
having updates to the same bugs in two systems.

Bryce.
