The most obvious thing is a much nicer UI.  You can tag bugs to
categorize them, and it makes it easy to specify relationships between
bugs - you just mention them, like "Depends on #234" - it will create
a by-directional link.

It has an API, and there is a conduit for Trac, but none for Mantis
that I'm aware of, so we'd probably need to hack together a script.
