I have used RT and I found that the web interface was both difficult to use and unwieldly for tickets containing large numbers of messages. Maybe those those things have been improved, but frankly if RT or Bugzilla is the best we can come up with then I'd rather not have a bug tracker at all. See also: Linus's opinion on CVS.
This is just the sort of argument that's stopped us in the past. My guess that that everybody's favourite tracker is someone else's least favourite.
I have a slight preference for Bugzilla for no other reasons than familiarity and the fact that I did a good deal of the work that allowed it to run on Postgres some years ago. Also, I'd be happier if we could leverage the good work that Stefan did a few years ago.
Some years ago I was involved in doing a substantial study of trackers and SCMs for a company I was working for. One of the conclusions the study group came to was that there should be good integration between the tracker system and the SCM. That was in the days before distributed SCMs were common, and in a commercial context, so I'm not sure how well our reasoning would stand up for the current context, but I see it's been mentioned elsewhere and I think it's a significant consideration, at least.
