The one thing the bug tracker doesn't show is Severity and Priority. I'm not sure if this is something that the developers have available on their end, but it would be nice to know how each bug/defect is ranked.
Where I work we have:
1 - Critical
2 - High
3 - Medium
4 - Low
The rankings will differ in meaning from company to company. I work in telecommunications, and 99% of development is around internal billing and provisioning systems, not public software.
Critical: is always a show stopper. High: can be a show stopper, but if there is a work around it will go into the production environment. Medium: is something that should be fixed, but does not affect core functionality. We can still launch. Low: is just that....Low. Fix when there's time or someone is bored. This year would be nice.
That definition of "Low" is a good one - in a project all bugs with low severity gets high priority at the year end, it's called annual cleanup in the corners
