I have now set up an instance of bugzilla at bugs.octave.org.  We
could use this.  On the plus side, it is bugzilla, which is a fairly
comprehensive, well known, and widely used bug reporting system.  Some
negatives that I can see:

I'm setting up a bug server for a small project I'm working on.  I'm leaning towards trac.  I like the source control integration, and the ease of cross-referencing between changesets, bugs, and other wiki pages (e.g. type changeset:1234 in the bug report to refer to changeset 1234).  I've also seen the FFADO project (linux firewire audio drivers) integrate it into their mailing list, so when you reply to a bug email and put three curly braces around text, it adds that to the bug report.

There are many trac plugins and macros and other stuff available at http://trac-hacks.org

I've only used bugzilla for tracking/developing (no admin'ing).  It was fine for bug tracking.
