There would be many advantages of such a solution among other things that the now quite effectily working GNOME bug team could help you triage bugs and also when gnucash crash and bug buddy pops up you would be using a bugzilla that supports mail in bugs which bug-buddy demands.

This would be very easy to do, the most difficult aspect is if we needed 
to move any old bugs over. There are few enough of those, however, that it 
might be possible to manually enter them again (after verification) into 
the gnome bugzilla.
Basically all we need to do is mail bugmaster@gnome.org a list of the 
necessary components, a description for each one and who (email addr) 
would be responsible for each one.
I already have rights on the gnome bugzilla for working with bugs, and I 
would be willing to get this done. I could also post a news item to the 
gnucash webpage to let users know and we could also add it to the 1.6 docs 
for the next release.
