The status of a central bug tracking database is not a measure of Linux's maturity. It is a measure of the (perceived) maturity of acceptable bug tracking databases.
There are two ways to have developers use a bug-tracking system. Have an authority with power over them compel them or make the database so useful to them that they have to be fools not to use it. Since unlike proprietary development there is no such authority we will have to wait until a database becomes sufficiently useful.
Sorry, but i get tired of people claiming Linux (or some other project) isn't sufficiently mature because one aspect didn't work as they would have liked.
