The github issue tracker is really very simplistic. Basically it is just 
a list of issues that you can assign to a user, give a priority and 
label it. A bit like the sourceforge issue tracker, I guess. Bugzilla is 
much more sophisticated and it can be customized to fit your product, 
workflow, etc. One feature I really like is dependencies between issues, 
so that you do not have to worry about adding huge task as a single 
issue. Simply add it and make it depend on sub tasks.

Having the same set of users by default is nice to have, but so far Joël 
has been very forthcoming, so I do not see that as a big advantage.

Anyway, I started using bugzilla on freevms.net already. It is not much 
yet, but it will grow.
