Fate vs Bugzilla for feature tracking

I've been having a closer look and I think it would be easiest to integrate 
reviewboard (or a similar platform) with bugzilla.

The bugtracker could have a "send to review" feature which would create a new 
review and link it to the report (and vice versa). It would be great if 
additional review-related information could also be shown in the bugtracker 
(like a general status what's going on).

Like this you'd basically have separate developer discussions (at least for 
patches) and still only one starting point. Those review requests would be 
optional so developer or projects who don't want/need the feature might as 
well not use it, therefore not introducing an additional overhead.

We'd still have to come clean about if we want all patches to go to Bugzilla 
and how to notify everyone who might/should be interested. Currently most 
patches go to the respective mailinglists whereas the ones attached to 
Bugzilla have a smaller chance of being noticed.

Michael
