That is not really how time tracking works, as the name says, it's
mainly to track the time individually worked on a bug. "Start time"
normally corresponds to the bug status change date to something like
"Assigned" and is therefore most likely redundant. "End time" is
"Deadline" already.

So you should be more detailed about what you are actually trying to
achieve and afterwards you can decide if it makes sense to customize
time tracking feature ot its forms or whatever. While Bugzilla is able
to customize templates and provide extensions for custom code, that
doesn't mean it make sense to use anything already available and
customize it for some completely different purpose. That only makes
maintanenance a lot harder in the long term.

Doesn't sound that much better than the "deadline" field of time
tracking. Remember that once used, custom fields can not easily be
removed anymore, you need to live with them "forever". So be careful
with introducing those as well.

It's pretty likely that the same works for hiding all the fileds of
time tracking you are not interested in as well, if "deadline" alone
is sufficient. It's worth a try.
