I have some experience as bug reporter because bugzilla is used by 
Gnome¹.

They recently upgraded bugzilla and now the experience is a bit better 
(e.g., email notifications are almost readable now.. they used to have 
an awful formatting and I could not understand how a bug was modified), 
but I must say that it's not such a good tracker.
The simple search does not work properly most of the times and you must 
use the advanced search instead. The "My bugs" is not user-friendly at 
all: try to list all the open bugs you are Cc'ed to and you'll see what 
I mean. Again, it's better to use the advanced search instead.

I had much better experience with Redmine (Ruby on Rails). You can see 
an example here:
