Your not weird. I also like Bugzilla for some projects; its rather simple and somewhat easy to use... I also know a lot of people who hate it.

Oh I agree completely.  But that's the Git project.

However I think it would be nice if we had native hooks shipped with core Git to connect to some popular bug tracking systems such as Bugzilla and Trac. Nothing incredibly fancy, but like how we currently ship some default example hooks (and even install them into every repo with `git init-db`!) we should at least ship some basic examples and documentation for integrating to some popular systems. Integrate with at least 2 and it should be easy for users to add others...

Eh, its just more stuff for an ever growing wishlist. :-) I probably won't do it as its not high on my wish list for Git. I don't currently use any bug tracking systems.
