Mantis has projects which group bugs. They're easy to add - any user
with appropriate access permissions can do so. I find Mantis to be
clean and fairly simple for technical people (which is probably fine in
this case) but it doesn't seem to be simple enough for non-tech-savvy
end-users. Also, I haven't done any development on it in ages because I
just can't stand working in PHP these days :S - but I do know you would
definitely want to be using the newest release candidate in the 0.18.x
series instead of the 0.17.x release.
