No.

A few other thoughts:
. the Samba team have apparently abandoned their own tool and moved to 
bugzilla
. if we used bugzilla this might give some impetus to the bugzilla 
team's efforts to provide pg as a backend (maybe we could help with that)
. it would seem slightly strange to me for an RDBMS project to use a bug 
tracking system that was not RDBMS-backed
. developers are far more likely to be familiar with bugzilla
. are there any active developers without web access? If not, why is 
pure email interaction important?

Bugzilla is far from perfect. But it's getting better.
