see previous discussion about what is required to keep a tracker system 
healthy. In particular:

. items appearing in other media need to be put in the tracker
. items entered in the tracker need to be regularly triaged, reviewed 
and updated.

Systems lacking this amount of TLC rapidly become useless, and in fact 
unused.

Also, if we are in fact going to use bz, there is probably some dev work 
that should be done to improve/extend its email functionality, to make 
it fit the way we do business better.

cheers
