I am not aware of any plans in this regard.  I personally have not been
introduced to a bug tracker that is as complete as bugzilla for what we
need to do and I am quite familiar with and involved in many open source
projects and their related bug trackers.

Not at all, on my part anyway.  But I am very familiar with bugzilla.  I
find using other projects' (i.e. gnome, freedesktop, etc.) bugzillas
just as easy to use.  It is a tool you have to learn to use effectively
though.

Find and follow the release trackers.  Release tracking bugs usually
have an alias of the form tracking-xyz where x, y and z are the release
digits.  i.e. tracking-181.  I believe this has been discussed more than
once on this list though, so the archives might be useful here if you
need any more info.
