15 BugZilla is right place. If you open a PR on Github, you'll get an
16 automated message telling you to open an associated bug on BugZilla.
17 If Github ever goes away, all of the PR history it contains will be lost
18 forever.

20 Since Github is proprietary, forcing people to use it is against our
21 social contract, and many developers completely ignore everything you
22 post there.

24 On the other hand, casually reading the contents of a PR is easier on
25 Github than with patches on BugZilla. For best results, do both.
