Right: machine power isn't really an issue (although the snappiness of response does contribute to usability: the various installations showed noticable differences in response time). The issue of scalability is really how a large number of reports can be managed. How can a submitter easily find out whether a report for some issue already exists, and how can a maintainer easily find out what needs most attention (where each developer might apply her own priority system)? For a small number of issues, you can scan through a list. If the list contains more than 20 entries, scanning through it becomes tedious.
