I like the idea to either use a sub-domain OR a sub-folder, but not both. (for 
the same purpose)

I suppose to stay consistent with other practices on gnucash.org, stick with 
the sub-domain.

My usual rule is that if you are providing something that is running a separate 
process from the webserver (such as a bugzilla instance, mailman, webmail, 
wiki, online store, etc.) then use a sub-domain. If you’re just accessing a 
separately organized area of the main website, use a sub-folder.

Though you could have sub-folders that are specifically for specially organized 
info/instances for each sub-domain as applicable. For example, if you have 
several help pages for BZ, those might all be collected under 
bugzilla.gnucash.org/help/ rather than throwing all of them at the top level.

I’m not sure how BZ is organized, but an exception to this rule might be if you 
maintained separate bug lists for the different branches, you might do that 
with sub-folders, but if you have to run separate BZ instances, then probably 
use another level of subdomain—i.e., bugzilla.gnucash.org/maint/ or 
maint.bugzilla.gnucash.org. (probably a bad example since such separation is 
going to be likely messy if someone files a bug under the wrong instance, but 
not so much if there’s one instance with branch organization, which I think is 
already provided from within BZ anyway)

As a side question, will this be a more up-to-date version of BZ? (is there 
one?) I find the organization used by current version a little cumbersome, 
though perhaps that might go away when this becomes a dedicated GnuCash BZ 
instance without any other projects.

Regards,
Adrien

p.s. - don’t forget if you don’t already have it, you’ll need a wildcard 
certificate to handle the subs.
