1. Because everyone is on GitHub
2. Bugzilla is a much older tool with an unfriendly interface 
even though plenty of people got used to it.
3. Bugzilla currently does not accepts gmail accounts to be 
created, with it is a big shoot in the foot
4. I personally find bugzilla a lot inferior on navigation and 
user discussion
