I have no clue why Mantis is preferred by the team, maybe someone could share the light.
As Ralph already pointed out - the reasons boiled down to limited resources, and what we really wanted out of the issue tracker. Bz at the time seemed very complex, neither Johnny nor I were very keen on spending lots of time with perl + we wanted an easy way to interface the issue tracker stuff with the website. Many years down the road, the integration has not happened! But the much simpler schema and mysql requirements behind mantis have come in handy when building reports and integrating other tools.
Also worth noting is that we actually migrated FROM bugzilla to mantis, the first instance that we setup on the split from caoslinux was bugzilla.
