The FreeBSD project use the GNATS bug tracking system.
http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#gnats
If people want to file a bug report, they can use a command (send-pr)
that will call up their editor and mail the report to the proper
people, e.g. documentation bugs go to the mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED], problems or new submissions to the ports
collection go to freebsd-ports etc.
The system assigns an id (e.g. 'kern/7028') under which the problem
report (PR) will be handled and can be tacked.
This system is mail based, but has been mapped on the web too:
File PRs via
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html
Watch the status via
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi
Follow the discussion in the corresponding mailing lists
http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current
e.g.
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-ports.html
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=150854+0+current/freebsd-ports
I can't tell you how complicated it is to get such a system
set up, but at least one can peek at the configuration files,
as they are in the public CVS archives too.
Look here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/www/en/cgi
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/gnu/usr.bin/send-pr
A newer system is Mozilla's Bugzilla. However I have no experience
using it.
