The project/community in whole but as I have mentioned to Kevin
atleast on one occasion if it boils down to it I will personally put
my free time in running and administrative that instance since my
frustration level with RH bugzilla has grown to an all time high due
to frequent collision with internal RH administrative policy's that
nobody in the community knows exactly which are,frequent RH

as several other issue we are faced with it in the QA community and
the hindrance it serves to the growth to our community and the fact
we cant hack in it directly to make ours as well as other processes

Not really we can reach the decision based upon if we would like to
migrate "older" bugs to keep history or if we would skip that step
and choose to use a fresh deployment and simply use the RH bugzilla
instance strictly for historic lookup in bugs purpose for EOL
releases.
Migrating is always possible, it just requires more or less work according to
the solution we choose. So it might be an argument in favor of one or another
and thus should be considered but not necessarily something to agree on
beforehand.
