Last time it came up I thought the problem was that there was not a
consensus on *which* bugtracker to use.
Incidentally, I'm not advocating we use bugzilla (if anything I think
I'd lean towards using RT), but this seems like a good opportunity to
note that as of a week or two ago bugzilla's HEAD branch supports using
PostgreSQL as its backing store, and this will be maintained.

Bug tracking systems are used to track more than just bugs ... they are
often used to track enhancements, support requests, and other tasks.
GForge (and hence pgfoundry) provides each project by default with
several trackers, one for each of these classes. But then, as a
pgfoundry admin you know that, right? :-)
