Easily manageable
Every setting can be managed via BUGS' administration menu, where settings are laid out like in a control panel. Everything from server settings to bug report settings can be controlled from here.

Easy access to settings, and a point-and-click approach to configuration, makes maintenance much easier. You don't have to touch a single configuration file!
