I don't generally care for bug tracking packages off the shelf. I've used
some of them on projects I've had in the past and it was usually more work
to manage that system than to just fix the bug and as a result it was not
kept properly up to date and so you couldn't reliably count on the system.

I have a system that keeps all submitted bug cases and I spend as much time
as I can on them. The more you do to help by creating simple sample apps to
isolate problems the quicker I can get to things. If somthing is pressing
you then feel free to communicate your urgency.
