I think we need to continue to use Mantis, maybe with some adaptions :
a mail for each bug in a bugs-mailing list and an RSS feeds in order to 
increase the awareness.

How many people are really using Mantis ?

The people that have bugs assigned should try to be more responsive.
Maybe we could send to the list a weekly report of many bugs are still 
unsolved, how many are solved. I also see on the mantis web site, that a 
graph plugin exist in order to show the state of the mantis database.
