Perhaps a more important question is, is there interest in making a stable branch, tracking bugs and producing bug-fix-only releases from the stable branch? As is traditional in (eg) gcc, etc? If not, I don't think there is much point in having a bugzilla.
Bugzilla can also be used to track pending patches so that they are not forgotten and need to be re-sent.
And there are also issues (bugs and enhancements) without having a stable branch. For example, the big issue of GCC4, or now 0.9.1 is being released although it no longer builds on OSX due to missing LDFLAGS (not the main platform, I know, but seems fixable), or regressions in sparc32 emulation etc. There's not a lack of things to be tracked. Tracking those wouldn't strictly require bug-fix-only releases but it would help with the QA of the occasional releases made.
