There is flawed logic in this statement. Bugzilla users (that is, 
organisations) probably also need an email server, but that doesn't mean 
Bugzilla should contain one.

Yes, we should provide ways to integrate related third party 
applications (see P4DTI for an example; we are hopefully doing some work 
to make their lives easier) but that does not mean we are writing or 
building in a source control system.

Currently, the Bugzilla team are busy enough that just making Bugzilla 
track bugs is hard work. We've always resisted broadening the scope in 
the past - now seems a particularly bad time to change that policy.
