I might suggest again RT. It's open source and has serious commercial
traction. The postgres port needs a lot of work for it to really catch up to
the original MySQL implementation so most of the users are using it with
MySQL. 

But it works ok under postgres and having more postgres-familiar eyes looking
at it would help polish both its postgres port and fix the problems it exposes
in the postgres optimizer.

It's more of a generic ticketing system than a single-purpose bug tracking
system though. I'm not sure how smoothly it would be usable for bug-tracking
an open source project like postgres.
