What is needed is a system that records all patches, together with their current status (NEW, APPLIED, REJECTED (with reasons), and whatever other status), informs the submitter of any change, and does not allow for a patch merely to be forgotten.
Absolutely!
Bugzilla can make this process better (so not perfect). However all would be very transparent and manageable for the maintainer(s). I think, there is some serious food for thought here....
It may be that Bugzilla could be coaxed into this role, although I suspect it's not particularly well adapted to this core task without some customisation.
