Read this postGit Migration Scheduled
A migration of Bugzilla and related code from bzr.mozilla.org to git.mozilla.org will be perfomed on Tuesday, 11 March 2014, starting at 17:00 UTC. At this time, all Bazaar branches on bzr.mozilla.org will be made read-only (aside from a few admin accounts), and the migration to git repositories on git.mozilla.org will commence. It should take around 1.5 hours to migrate everything, after which point write access will be enabled on the git repositories for all users previously authorized on bzr.mozilla.org. A script will periodically mirror changes from git to bzr for all currently supported Bugzilla branches (4.0, 4.2, and 4.4). Changes will not be mirrored for any other branches of Bugzilla nor any other related branches (extensions, misc, etc.).

There’s also a lot of feeling out there that mirroring to GitHub may make contributions easier for new contributors. The general consensus on the thread so far is that we should do it; the main point of contention is how long to keep it mirrored in bzr after it moves.

When planning on upgrading your Bugzilla to a newer version, it’s always a good idea to read the release notes in case of special instructions that need to be done to handle certain situations in upgrades.
