You wouldn't need shell access to use bugzilla.

We already have bugzilla on sourceware. I even started setting up some
cygwin categories a while ago before I started scaring myself by
imagining the scenarios of cygwin users actually using bugzilla.
I'm sure that there is something frighteningly non-obvious about
bugzilla's use which, while we receive no complaints for gcc, eCos, or
any other project, would cause brain aneurysms for some cygwin users and
would cause an increase in email traffic here.
Regardless, it's probably time to consider using a formal method to
track problems. The distribution has surely gotten big enough for that.
Actually, I think that one of the 3+ developers even volunteered to
help maintain bugzilla when I mentioned this on cygwin-developers.
