- inter-bug dependencies and dependency graphing
- advanced reporting capabilities
- a robust, stable RDBMS back-end
- extensive configurability
- a very well-understood and well-thought-out natural bug resolution protocol
- email, XML, console, and HTTP APIs

systems, including Perforce and CVS (through the Bugzilla email interface
and checkin/checkout scripts)
