How can I be impressed when the guy doing the reviews rants about how
much he hates perl and suggests using something else. That's not
exactly encouraging - especially when he also suggests rewriting in a
language he'd rather use.

Bugzilla developers seem to have shunned the Perl community, failing
to attract experienced Perl developers, and accumulating an umanaged
and almost unmanagable codebase.

Well you complained about the viability of bugzilla in the future, I'm
just pointing out that the problems are primarily non-technical in
nature.
