Hi Mike#2,
we've occasionally talked about it before, and I would like to discuss it in public now, so I'm drawing in x2go-project.
A lot of us are frustrated with the user experience of our BTS.
Has anybody used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phabricator before?
Quote: "Phabricator is a suite of web-based software development collaboration tools, including the Differential code review tool, the Diffusion repository browser, the Herald change monitoring tool, the Maniphest bug tracker and the Phriction wiki. Phabricator integrates with Git, Mercurial, and Subversion."
It would be nice to know if this suite would suit us - especially, if Maniphest turns out to be an easier-to-use bugtracker that still has some kind of "advanced" mode that can be interacted with via e-mail, just like our current BTS.
Input, volunteers, opinions, anyone?

I thought Mihai was setting up a web-based suite of tools that includes a bug/issue tracker.
Personally I like redmine, which libssh has been using, because it lets you convert tickets back and forth between "Bug", "Support", and "Feature". There's nothing more insulting than "CLOSED NOTABUG" when a user reports a bug, but it turns out to be a badly needed small feature or a support request. However, I am not insisting we use Redmine by any means. http://www.redmine.org/
I will look into Phabricator later. That said, I looked into it a little bit, and the variety of supported authentication methods looks awesome. Hopefully they are easy to setup. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/qeE90gt
