Not for PRs or issues though which are arguably the biggest reasons to use GitHub. Still this is definitely an improvement.

GitHub's issue tracker is easily the worst issue tracker I've ever used. It's at the same time incredibly limited in features, but somehow hard to navigate.

As for PRs: I'm sure Mozilla welcome contributions, but accepting GitHub PRs is going to be a recipe for thousands of low-value drive-by commits, which will require a lot of triage.

Count yourself lucky you haven't had to use Jira! Or bugzilla for that matter.

I agree it is rather basic but I don't see how it's hard to navigate.

I don't think that really happens based on what I've seen of other huge projects on GitHub.

Mozilla's Bugzilla instance is not an out-of-the-box installation of Bugzilla. It's awesome IMHO. I use GitHub issues now, and it pales in comparison. I miss bugzilla.mozilla.org every day.
