Bugzilla

Bugzilla is a general-purpose bug tracking tool originally developed and used by the Mozilla Foundation. Since Bugzilla is World Wide Web-based and is free software / open source software, it is also the bug tracking tool of choice for many projects, both open source and proprietary software.

Bugzilla relies on an installed web server (such as Apache HTTP server) and a database management system (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) to perform its work. Bugs can be submitted by anybody, and will be assigned to a particular developer. Various status updates for each bug are allowed, together with user notes and bug examples.

Bugzilla s notion of a computer bug is very general; for instance, mozilla.org uses it to track feature requests as well.
