Hi, via that LWN article (got the link from Rhonda) I discovered the dist-bugs website and mailing list.
For about two or three weeks I'm looking for a BTS for the xen-tools project. Since we use git and I sometimes do offline development, I really would like to use a DBTS. But then OTOH I still want a BTS which has an at least read-only web interface for users to see what's going on. Since I haven't found a real DBTS (i.e. not sd and nothing using Subversion) with web interface after two weeks, I went back and looked through the classic BTS. Unfortunately most of them had some more or less ugly drawbacks like being dead, having been removed from Debian stable and oldstable because of security issues and non-cooperative upstream, or being way more than just a BTS and therefore overkill. I more or less settled with Mantis which seems ok despite some nice problems pointed by the _former_ debian package maintainer. (And yes, those problems seem to be the reason for no more maintaining it.) But today I discovered ticgit which has ticgitweb, so I'll have a look into that, still hoping for a nice DBTS with web interface. :-) If there are other VCS (preferably git) backed DBTS with a web interface for "normal" users, I'd be happy to hear about. BTW: My own collection of bookmarks about DBTS is at http://delicious.com/XTaran/dbts -- and to my surprise, the first DBTS I discovered (by accident though) wasn't in the list at http://dist-bugs.kitenet.net/software/, so I added it: It's Steve Kemp's milli (http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/milli/) which is written in Perl and another VCS agnostic DBTS.
