There is flexibility and there is flexibility. Of course using a custom-format, text file is the most flexible answer, at the cost of having no tool other than what we want to develop.

It doesn't have a web interface for other people, no automatic way to extract statistics, it's *clumsy* beyond belief if you want to also store past (and fixed or rejected) issues, has to be manually edited by us so outside people cannot enter issues, needs that someone reads gnu-emacs-bugs@ reports and formats them as desired, it has limited posibilities for searching and categorizing... /L/e/k/t/u
