Seriously, no, that bug tracker is even worse. If you want to be
drowned in duplicate hell, use Launchpad, the search function is
sub-par and you can't even make decent queries.
A big NO from me.
While a few parts of Launchpad are decent, the bugtracker is not, nor
is Rosetta (which is even worse, but that is a different story). If I
had to choose between Launchpad and Bugzilla, I would prefer Bugzilla
without hesitation. Launchpad might be suitable for smaller projects,
but certainly not for a project the size of KDE.
So if we change, it really has to be fast and scalable, with good
query options, else it's not even worth thinking of a change.
