No, continue to use bugzilla.  I'm sure if Laurent doesn't read bugzilla,
which I can't really understand or see, then he will be told to do so (it
really doesn't make sense that he wouldn't).  Anyways, if a bug is assigned
to him, he gets emailed directly, so you have the same effect... he gets an
email and it goes in bugzilla.

The benefit to using bugzilla is accountability.  Maintaners have to be
accountable to users (and their bosses!) about bugs filed there, and that is
the true benefit (you can easily see who's doing their job).

Please don't stop using bugzilla because of this... it's too valuable.
