I agree the bug tracker on sourceforge sucks.
Bugzilla unfortunately is also horribly intimidating to use. If *I* find it intimidating, think what joe random "I'm having a problem, I just want to see it fixed" is going to think. My eyes glaze over just tyring to do a search!
(Of course, it took me two years to notice that one *can* search in the sourceforge bug tracker. It really really is badly designed.)

Tracking bugs on wiki pages is terribly difficult too, unfortunately; that's why we started using the tracker. Reports get left, then we ask for more information, and the original poster never comes back to check. Duplicates aren't managed. The list gets very long and things disappear without being kept after. Nobody gets notification of changes in state.
Perhaps if we put more work into organizing bug reports on the wiki it could be managed (one page per bug, use your watchlists, be really anal about keeping order in the list page), but historically this has not done well.
