I'll second Jira as well. It's the only issue tracker I've seen that you
can actually use for multiple different things without it becoming a
mess. IE: it could track Postgres bugs, infrastructure issues, and the
TODO list if we wanted, allow issues to reference each other
intelligently, yet still keep them as 3 separate bodies.
Speaking as someone who uses Jira for commericial work, I'm -1 on them.
I simply don't find Jira to be superior to OSS BT systems, and inferior
in several ways (like that you can't have more than one person assigned
to a bug). And email integration for Jira is nonexistant.
When we discussed this 8 years ago, Debian said debbugs wasn't ready for
anyone else to use. Has that changed?
I do not think using a commercial system is a good idea. Currently, Jira
is free for open-source, but there is no guarantee. That could change at
anytime and result in possibly an expensive license cost or port to another
system. We use Jira/Confluence and the random loss of support for various
plugins caused by forced security-based upgrades has resulted in a lot of
unexpected work to maintain the system.
+1
Regardless of the quality of any non-OSS tracker, about which I have no
comment, I firmly believe that as an OSS project we should use OSS
infrastructure.
About 10 years ago I helped get Bugzilla over the hurdle of database
mono-culturism (basically by coming up with the initial version of this:
<https://github.com/bugzilla/bugzilla/commit/b8793ea28e3e03b2452bac119f2adcd3758e7260>).
Part of my motivation was to have a tracker to support the PostgreSQL
project that would run on PostgreSQL. We can see how well that worked
out :-)
