Actually, the porting of Bugzilla to PostgreSQL has been under
development for some time. Or, to put it more precisely, it's an effort
to clean up the code from any MySQL-ism in order to run on different
databases.

Bug #98304 dedicated to PostgreSQL has been unfortunately opened for a
long time, you can see the discussion at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98304
and the target release is the upcoming 2.18 - but targets have been
delayed before. I haven't checked recently if anything works right now.

Red Hat's port is more of a "hack" applied to a specific version of
Bugzilla. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98304#c57

IMHO it would be a good idea to help the Bugzilla team to finish the
port in time for release 2.18 and join a very active tool.
