What kind of queries are you running/trying to run? Anything that
couldn't be done with a recent version of bugzilla? Have a look at
http://www.math.concordia.ab.ca/cgi-bin/bugzilla/query.cgi
if you don't have any experience with bugzilla.
We could easily run a bugzilla database for maxima if that would help
handling the maxima bug tracking.
