It's not just about "low quality" bug reports. The entire system is baroque and messy to use even for experts. I've been using it for 2+ decades now. As a maintainer, I frequently needed to change bug tickets. Tags, versions, dependencies, and other details. All need doing through the control@ email interface. Changes can take over half an hour to be processed and acknowledged. It's inefficient and tedious, and prone to error if there's a single typo. While I'm not a fan of web interfaces, bugzilla, JIRA, gitlab issues etc. are all a world more effective and efficient to use. The Debian BTS does what it does well. However, the other systems all do a much better job. The Debian BTS is a couple of decades past its prime. Nowadays we don't need email interfaces to services like this, we have much simpler and more immediate ways to talk to services, which are even easier to script for non-interactive use. Take a typical interaction. I need to respond to a ticket I didn't originally file or get CC'd on. With any other system, I'd log in, find the ticket, make a comment and any metadata changes, and press "submit". With the Debian BTS, I need to find the ticket, download the mbox mailbox by hand and open that in a mail client by hand, then find and reply to the relevant message(s) and make any other needed changes using the control interface. It takes much longer, and it wastes huge quantities of valuable time. It is not a pleasure to use. I can not understate what a huge time sink it is to use the Debian BTS to work with dozens of tickets every day. It's an exercise in frustration.
