Agree on the bug tracker fail. The classification of bugs is way too primitive for a such a large project.

For example, when I reported a bug, I was surprised there seemed to be no (obvious) way to search/mark bugs by release. I had no way to describe a bug as "exists in stable but not in dev release" besides adding a textual commentary.

The people handling the bugs seem overwhelmed as well. A large percentage of those bugs are probably stale.
