For the bugs I submitted to fpc I had 2 or 3 times afterwards the need 
to add comments or to correct my report.

That is why the Lazarus team switched to mantis. Rewriting the 
bugtracker would take also time. And it has also to be maintained.
Further rewriting wouldn't give all options we have with mantis now.

Setting it up consist merely of having a MySQL db and running the mantis 
admin script from your webbrowser.
