Right, the problem has been the lukewarm response from the hackers
who would be using it every day, and without whose buy-in using a
bug tracker would be possible, but much more difficult.

Bug tracking software is definitely religious war territory; most
people have a bug tracker they use and tolerate, and pretty much
everyone has a bug tracker that they absolutely despise (hi JIRA!).
Therefore, I suggest we adopt the first one that someone takes the
time to build and implement, along with a plan for keeping it up
to date.

My own bare bones wish list for such a tracker is:

* Runs on Postgres
* Has an email interface

Make no mistake, whichever we choose, the care of feeding of such a
beast will require some precious resources in time from at least two
people, probably more. If there is anyone in the community that
wants to help the project but hasn't found a way, this is your chance
to step up! :)
