BugZilla is not among the tools that is provided by OASIS, and we must 
only use such tools.

However, while a tool like bugzilla may simplify the task of tracking 
issues, one should not under-estimate the effort that is required to 
maintain and to configure the tool itself as well as the data stored in 
the tool's database. So, I'm not convinced that things really would be 
much easier if we would have an OASIS BugZilla.
