Bugzilla in Python? Yes, Please.
Via various places, I've noted that there has been discussion about the possibility of implementing Bugzilla in alternative languages (:cough:python:cough:). I doubt that the core bugzilla team would pull up their roots and really switch but a python-version of bugzilla (trac doesn't count) in Django would be really, really hot.
I linked to the main wiki page up top - but here's a link to the discussion page.
The primary page lists come common (albeit silly for the most part) "cons" that python is viewed as having. I think the discussion page is more interesting personally, but in either case - who is up for doing an implementation anyway?
I would shave every hair off my body and paint myself blue for a Bugzilla/Testopia implementation in Django it's been on my "list of things to do one day" ever since I started poking at Django a year or so ago.

No kidding..
I did an implementation of Bugzilla a few years ago and I had to make a few modifications..
Cripe.. I almost shot myself.
Having a version in Python would be simply great.

@Cowmix: I’ve used bugzilla for some time now - hacking the code is a nightmare, but I still love it. The interface/etc is fantastic.
@Ryan: Holy crap! It even supports perforce! Let me get back to you.
@Richard: Oh that’s just mean :)
