Or whether to use one. Roughly 1/3 bugzilla, 1/3 something else, and 1/3
don't want a bugtracker. And, among the people who didn't want bugzilla,
some were vehemently opposed to it. Bugtrackers discussed included GForge,
bugzilla, RT, Roundup, Jura (they offered a free license) and a few I don't
remember.

One of the things which came out of the bugtracker discussion is that anything
we use must have the ability for developers to interact 100% by e-mail, as
some critical developers will not use a web interface.
