Presumably whoever is interested in seeing the bug fixed, the original poster,
a developer who can't see a fix, I don't know.

These questions can only be answered by trying a tracker out. I can only say
in GDB it helps me find (and fix) old bugs that I probably wouldn't know about
through the archives.
It's now over five years since the last (mainline) release. I think a tracker
will help with the release cycle. If you think Emacs should be bug free no
matter how long it takes to make a release, then I guess a tracker may not be
of much use.
