Debian uses an email based bug tracker and you know what? Most people
avoid it like a plague. It's a hell on earth to use. Ubunutu's Launchpad
which looks and feels like Bugzilla is a hundred times more popular.

Sometimes programmers have to realize that most people around are not as
smart as they are.
