Phabricator

Phabricator tends to have a higher percentage of patches. However, its search capabilities are less than that of Bugzilla. Thus, it is somewhat more difficult for bug triagers to identify low-hanging fruit.

Phabricator does not have the added-on "maintainer" concept that we have added to Bugzilla. So, it is very difficult to triage for "maintainer timeout". (and, in some cases in src, it should not apply.)

miscellaneous

It's absurd to think that any one person could look at a list longer than 20-30 items at any one time.

possibly a checklist format?
