As someone who uses the Debian BTS as a bug reported only these days,
and a as maintainer (but not DD) in the past I love it. For the
developer the email interface is perfect for quick actions, while
the website allows for a good overview. And as a user the reportbug
tools works really nicely and tends to collect the important information
automatically. Most importantly it does not require creating a user
account with some random entity.
