As a simple user I can say that it would be worst. Currently 
bugzilla is **very permissive** (and that's a good thing !). Once 
you're registered you can open, close, assign any issue. On GH 
only members of an organization can really do stuff on bugs.

About the first Con: the bot already links PR and bugzilla 
(auto-close, notification when a PR references an issue).
