The installation guide is very good and covers Linux well as well as Windows. It requires: A web server (preferrably Apache), a database server (preferrably MySQL), and Perl (5.8.6 or greater IIRC). One of the Bugzilla systems I manage at work takes less than 200MB of disk with about 50,000 bugs and all its associated data (attachments, code and templates included). Bugzilla has a tremendous reporting system and doing the queries you discussed in your email 2-3 hours after this one are all well covered. Users can sign themselves up for Bugzilla if it is configured to allow it and it now includes fairly good support for receiving emailed bug reports. I strongly encourage giving it a try on your own system first. Please let me know if you need help.
