If I'm just working alone: ToDoList by AbstractSpoon Software http://www.abstractspoon.com/

For small projects it's enough to manage all my tasks, including bugs.

Comments at the top of the file.

IMHO, poor thinking. (sorry) how will you prioritise and track them - open up all the files?

 grep FIXME *.l | sed s/^;;// | sort -n

Mantis. But I tend to think the pages are too long.

TRAC's my current favorite.

Too all the people using comments in the code and the like, that's very good when you're a 1-2 person team, but when you (hopefully) have more coders, possibly QA people and (god forbid) customers who complain about stuff that doesn't work well, you'd better switch to something that's more manageable.

still poor thinking (sorry again).

- what about bugs that dont belong to one file; and those that are across modules?

- to edit or reprioritise, you must open up the files again. Imagine making a Project Manager or business guy learn vi, not to mention messing up your code!

I work defects into my status report. It is just another heading - and move them around the categories. (template: http://juwo-works.blogspot.com/2007/08/my-status-report-temp... ).
