See if you can't get in contact with chadh on how to set it up on
cvs.gentoo.org (which perhaps should get a new alias: bugs.gentoo.org ?).

We should have at least two modes for the bugtracker: end-user and
developer. The full-blown bugzilla interface is a bit intimidating for
first-time end-users, so they should by default get an easy-to-use
interface.

The regular developers should get the full-blown interface, I guess.

The main thing about the bugtracker is that we should _USE_ it. So we'll
just have to keep tweaking it until everybody uses it for adding ebuilds,
bug reports, wishes, etc.

In fact, we should perhaps rename it from "bugtracker" to "issuetracker",
since we want to have it handle more than just bugs: we want all new
ebuilds to be submitted through it, so that it can help us not forget half
of the ebuilds that get submitted.
