Sorry, but it's definitely not:
People hardly ever choose a category, this means we don't know what
component is affected.
Because the category is not mandatory we don't have automatic
notifications. Somebody needs to look over the bugs and assign them to
the right components and persons.
We cannot add custom fields e.g. for the version. We still have the
unused "Group" field but every value we enter there is valid for all
categories.
We have 3 trackers: bugs, patches and feature requests. This is
confusing.
Groups and categories are different in all three, this means we cannot
move bugs from one tracker to the other.
We have the same with the pcmanfm bug tracker, which multiplies the work
by factor 2. It's also very disappointing if people have to wait for
weeks just to receive a message that tells them to file the bug again in
another tracker.

I agree that something like bugzilla is too powerful and confusing for
most people, but the tracker of trac or the one at github for example
are pretty straight forward.

Kind regards,
