As do I and am maintaining over 700 projects of different nature, with 
400.000 issue in such instance and it's not overkill, it is scalable 
which is precisely what we need and provides the necessary oversight 
that is required to "health monitor" the project(s) and the community as 
well as providing the modern collaboration infrastructure we need to, to 
sustain ourselves as a community on the 21 century.

It is the perfect bug tracker, be it single project or more ( we require 
atleast three different project in that instance as in one for systemd 
itself and atleast two for the community, which be following completely 
different workflow than systemd project will ) for this and it is as 
very scalable ( and extendable via plugins ) for the future, for the 
direction the building block of modern OS ( systemd ) can take.

I spent eight years working in mozilla bugzilla as well as various 
tracker instances and I can tell you here and now that they are 
insufficient for the task at hand since one of the goal here is to 
reduce time developers spend in bug trackers not increase it.

On top of that the bugzilla mozilla and tracker UI is crap to use and 
lacks all mobile/tablet interface as far as I know.

Which bug tracker would you propose?
