I can't think of any reason except

a) some people don't want to reenter thousands of bugs when changing a
system and there doesn't seem to be something that imports/exports in a
convincing manner.
b) some projects insist on using a certain bug tracking system and not
another
c) some people don't want to "lose control" over their bugs which means
restricting access
d) some people don't want to make it look like projects are tied
together (although they really are...)

I for one would love to have a unified bugtracker for 

OE core bugs
X11
Opie
GPE
E
Machine specific (Zaurus,iPAQ,NSLU2,...)

where we could just move bugs forward and backward, but I'm afraid it's
not going to happen unless you find a way to convince many people - some
of 'em with really huge Egos.

I "abused" my OZ maintainer position to decide over the fact that OE and
OZ use the same bugtracker -- which really is a relief at times, but
also needs teaching people where one project ends and another one starts
--, but I'm afraid I have not enough power to make that happen for other
projects...
