bugs.opensolaris.org provides a front end to Sun's internal bug database,
which most teams still use as it's where they have 20+ years of bug data
and where bugs from Solaris 10 and earlier customers are filed by support.
Unfortunately, it's also read-only to outside users, who only see a limited
subset of bug data. (You can submit a new bug to it, but not update an
existing bug.)
defect.opensolaris.org was set up to see if we could use a more community
friendly bug tracker, and it's been adopted by some development teams with
no bug history to worry about (IPS, the new installer, etc.) and some which
are more used to bugzilla from their upstream work (GNOME, Mozilla, etc.).
It's fully outside the Sun firewall and community members have the exact
same access levels as Sun employees.
