Mantis is opaque and hacky. I was put off working on our work
installation when, tracing a bug, I found a page which calls a
function which calls a function which calls a *page* which calls a
function which looks up an enum. Mantis: exemplary PHP. The only
reason I haven't installed something else is that all bugtrackers are
horrible to install, run or both. We've actually been moving a lot of
our bugtracking to pivotaltracker.com, where at least we have active
support.

tl;dr all software sucks, *especially* bug trackers.
