There is only one good, easy to use, user/maintainer friendly bug
tracker I know of:

    debbugs [1]

The best thing about it is that it is very lightweight and controllable
by email. There are exiting UI's for Emacs that make the management
non-time consuming.

I'm not in favor of any of the other exiting web based bug trackers.

amongst the GNU project as well.
