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.
