please not yet another plattform. our bugtracker has all a bt needs. sorting, filtering, automated mail delivery to the right people.
a mail system/wiki can also not provide features like "filter most significant open bugs", "filter those assigned to me", ...
so instead of introducing a new bt please convince people that such a thing is meaningfull. you will never get a fully qualified bug report (version, severity, state, priority, ...) from mails not intended to go into a bt. a bt also needs disciplin (search if bug exists, one bug per report, tell bt when bug is fixed, ...)
problem is, the maintainer of glob2 doesn't like bt neither. else i would vote to make heavy use of the bt including the vote system for wish bugs and flaming all that put bugs on the ml and not on the bt.
one could argue that small and easy to fix bugs in branches that are actively developed could go to the ml but i oppose that as we will definitely miss bugs if we don't use a central point for bug reporting what only can be a bt.

I'm in favour of bug trackers. Just that our bug tracker is rather slow. It takes long time to enter information, plus the Savannah theme in general is slow to load, which makes things worse. One needs a high-productivity system, where as the Savannah system is just fundamentals.
