Personally, I do not want Yet Another Bugzilla Account. A project is significantly less likely to get a patch from me if I have to create an account to report a bug. Most of the patches I send to various projects are for bugs I've experienced and want to provide a fix for, so I send a small number of patches to many projects.

I feel that the mailing list workflow ends up working very well for Git and it provides a low barrier to entry for those that want to send just one or two patches for problems that they're experiencing. It also allows me to see and comment on virtually every patch on the list, while ignoring threads I am not interested in, a combination which is difficult to achieve with a web-based bug tracker.
