I had one of the folks who works for me at HP adapt the bug system to the needs of the small support group I manage. He fixed a bunch of these problems, so that it's entirely based on Perl5 now. However, he got really over-zealous and changed a lot of other things, too, so that I'm sure how well what he did would transfer back. Having said that, if someone is going to do work to package the bug tracking system and would like a copy of what he did to review, I can try and scrape the pieces together... My personal wish-list for the bug system is pretty short. I would really like it if the process of closing a bug recorded the version of the package that supposedly fixed the bug. There would of course need to be special case handling for pseudo-packages like ftp.debian.org, where the date might be a good substitute. Having this additional information would allow us to know what bugs exist against different releases, by looking at the package version information...
