Just to explain the current situation:
*Custom* fields (in Wikimedia Bugzilla: "Web Browser" and "Mobile
Platform") can be configured to be only shown under certain conditions
(e.g. only for specific products/components), but Bugzilla still does
not allow disabling some *default* fields that I consider useless in
most cases for us ("Hardware" and "OS", upstream ticket:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763409 ).

While some pieces of the criticism on that page are entirely valid, all
in all it feels rather non-constructive.
Plus the topic "most acceptable issue tracking/version control/project
management tool" is so complex and has enough stakeholders that it
requires a well-structured process to neither discuss only the favorite
bits and pieces of individuals, nor end up in the biggest bikeshed ever.
