I agree.  Look at the most successful recent process change around here:
the buildfarm.  Andrew Dunstan took it upon himself to make that happen.
He built it, and they came.

No bug/issue tracker, or anything else, is going to be successful unless
somebody commits enough time to make it so.  I've noted a whole lot of
enthusiasm for having a tracker in these recent discussions, but a
remarkable shortage of individuals stepping up to do the work.
