I would tend to agree, and having two is super confusing. In general, 
people who have reported bugs on both Bugzilla and GitHub or GitLab seem 
to agree that Bugzilla's UX is inferior. However I don't believe we've 
officially trialed GitLab Issues and investigated what missing features 
need to be added before we can migrate to it. Maybe the time to do that 
is now, as a part of the general GitLab evaluation and migration period.

Personally I find GitLab Issues to offer a vastly superior UX for bug 
reporting compared to Bugzilla. However the UX for bug management and 
triaging is not as granular. For example I still haven't figured out a 
way to create a saved search for "all Issues opened in the last 24 hours 
across all projects". And it would be nice to have some kind of overview 
similar to https://bugs.kde.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi.
