To date, any discussions of setting up a BugTracker have ended with the
developers themselves stating that they wouldn't use it, and have no
interest in it ... so, you'd have to have someone you could assign as
'liason' to handle monitoring -hackers and updating tickets, etc ... :(

This, like GPL vs BSD, comes up about every 3 months or so :)
