My personal favourite bug-tracker is debbugs, as used by the Debian
Project. You can submit bugs by email, they get forwarded to
maintainers (which can be a mailing list) via email. When they reply,
the reply is also stored with the bug. Bugs can be tagged. AFAIK you
can subscribe to bugs so if anything is added or altered you are told
about it.
However, the web interface is sparse which puts some people off.
There's also no graphical interface to manipulate the bugs with. On the
other hand, you can have a thread on a mailing list about the bug and
it will be archived with the bug.
Note, I'm not volunteering. Nor do I know how hard it would be setup.
However, I've never seen another bug system quite like it. I like it so
perhaps it's something people here might like.
Have a nice,
