It's been discussed many times and I still believe that it would be extremely beneficial for ABRT to remain, but to store its data somewhere other than bugzilla. Perhaps this speaks more to deficiencies in bugzilla, but it really doesn't seem to be the proper repository for the information that ABRT is producing. Not only do you need an account in order to report things, but the ABRT client is responsible for trying to eliminate duplicates (which it's getting better at, I admit). And bugzilla really makes it difficult to manage large numbers of bugs, which is a problem in itself but certainly not helped by ABRT piling on.
But I guess without someone stepping up and implementing non-bugzilla storage for ABRT and the tools required to query that data, this is all just idle talk.
