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. > Is there any chance of importing our existing bugs into Lighthouse? 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.
