there is bugzilla. it&#x27;s scalable, configurable, etc. the search is a little clumsy, but a little work on it would make it just like jira&#x27;s or any other modern query based instead of form based search.<p>but you&#x27;re not a startup cto if you use those dinosaur tools. just like you won&#x27;t use awk or make. because 1. it&#x27;s not sexy 2. you&#x27;re too lazy to learn your job properly. 3. nobody gets ridiculed for selecting the sexy tool instead of the right one, but the opposite is almost sure.
