I doubt that: I've submitted a couple in September, October and just
November 4th (with more to come).

Where's the maintenance burden for that script? It just works, the
infrastructure for conversion to bugzilla is in place, and it's used by at
least a couple of users.
Why break this when there's no gain but a unsubstantiated claim of
`simplified maintenance'? This has been discussed before, and I can only
point out the importance of offline bug submission and proper bug report
formatting/editing.
