No, let's. Because I know you're tired of it, and I know why you are:
It's the decision everyone hated but taken only because of GNUness.

I want a similar decision for the BTS. If it's about GNUness, then
stop using debbugs. Technical merits don't matter, right? That's what
everyone said about bzr. So, if technical merits don't matter, I want
you to force everyone to stop using debbugs, no matter how painful it
is, and to start working with me on fixing Savane.

Be consistent. Either do it for all of Emacs infrastructure or none.
Don't be selective about what gets the GNU stamp of approval and what
doesn't.
