Here are a few more thoughts on requirements, after spending 20 minutes
or so looking through the Bugster functional specs.

* automated account creation (conditional requirement?).  It should be
  possible to use one's opensolaris.org account to access the BTS.
  Example implementation techniques: (1) the BTS has an extensible
  authentication mechanism, so that we can write a plugin that talks to
  the opensolaris.org authentication service; (2) the BTS's account
  table is open enough that the opensolaris.org webapp can update it.

* multi-release support (optional requirement?).  It should be easy to
  match up a bug with the releases that the bug appears in, and to track
  backports.

* audit trails.  I know that US government regulations require a certain
  level of audit trail capability for the source (if you want to get the
  code security-certified).  I don't know if there's a similar
  requirement for the BTS.  I'd be faintly surprised if there were, but
  we should find out.
