Launchpad is not perfect, but it does pretty well.

Eventum for bugtracking wouldn't be ideal either, unless significant  
development work was done on it - and you don't have the time for that.

Of the two non-ideals, I prefer launchpad, for all the above reasons.
You know we can even mark a bug as relevant for more than one project,  
like MariaDB and OurDelta, or XtraDB and MariaDB, etc.
I can cope with the less-than-perfect user-interface. These inter- 
project intergration things are now very important things to consider.


Cheers,
Arjen.
