It is an instance of Redmine: https://www.redmine.org/ > - not markdown friendly Later versions of Redmine do actually support using Markdown instead of Textile markup language in use at the moment. The challenge is that it's just one big switch; as far as I know, if I turn it to Markdown, then the thousands of bugs and comments written in Textile will not render correctly. I am gradually working up to creating a process of rewriting all of the existing Textile markup to Markdown, but that's obviously a lot of work and not a high priority. > - not user friendly > - options to do simple things are not intuitive such as adding comments and > so on.. These are pretty subjective, and often people mistake "intuitive" for merely "familiar". No bug tracker is perfect, including Redmine, but this one has served us well for a long time. It has actual bug categories and workflow states, we're able to add custom fields, we have infrastructure that glues it to other adjacent systems like Gerrit (for code reviews), etc. We're also able to run the whole stack on an illumos system, which I think is an important part of being self-hosting for an operating system project.
