I have never installed, administered or used RT before, but curiously
digging around its homepage I found this:

http://bestpractical.com/rt/features.html praises it as "Easy to
install".  However on http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/HomePage
it says:

Can anyone with more experience with RT comment on this?

Moreover I'd like to advertise/suggest [Roundup][1].  Apart form a slim
web interface -- [here][2] Python's issue tracker as an example -- it
also offers a fully functional [email interface][3], which allows --
from what I understand -- creating, discussing and setting properties
like status and labels of issues.

As a note on the ease of installation: Roundup's [documentation on
installation][4] begins with: "Set aside 15-30 minutes."  But again
I have no personal experience to back this claim up.  Can anyone
comment on this or Roundup in general?
