Bugs

Launchpad's bug tracker is designed for sharing bug reports, statuses, patches and comments across project boundaries. It even interacts with external bug trackers, such as Bugzilla and Trac.

There's also the standard things that we've come to expect in a bug tracker: web, email and API interfaces, links between bugs and fixes, team-based delegation and more.
