Why?

Why it is the good way for so many projects and would be "hard" for us?

Issue trackers have many advantages, from statistics to easy work flow,
from categorization of bugs to accesibility to outside and/or casual
users.

I agree.  And certainly, we can do that (using an etc/BUGS file) if
that's what's decided.  It would already be better than what we do now. 
But a few of us have expressed interest in finding a good solution via a
dedicated software solution.  Are you vetoing it?
