Back in April, there was a little discussion about the possibility of using a bug tracking system for Dovecot (Bugzilla, Trac, and Mantis were mentioned). Do you think it might be time to revisit that? Still would be a good idea. Hmm. Last I tried, Trac didn't want to get installed without SVN. Mantis requires MySQL and I'd rather avoid that. So, would it be Bugzilla then? It seems to nowadays support PostgreSQL and it's kind of a standard everywhere. :) If that's what you're comfortable with, then that sounds great to me. I know that a lot of us are certainly experienced with *using* it.
Please, no bugzilla. It's top-heavy and really cumbersome to use.
Mantis has a much better interface, and is much more straightforward to configure and use. Please save the database elitism for the linux-vs-freebsd and atari-vs-commodore flame lists where those discussions belong.
I've used and setup a _lot_ of different bugtrackers extensively and mantis sucks the least. And I have used some which _really_ suck.
