I don't really have strong preferences to either tool.
But I recently did some work on Bugzilla and without having a lot of previous 
experience (not even Perl), I managed to dive into it straight away. I think 
it's pretty well structured and easily extensible.

So extending Bugzilla might be worth investigating as long as we know which 
features we want and how the workflow should look like. (Note: I'm not saying 
we can make it what we want it to be, just that the chances aren't that bad 
:)).
