Yes, quite so. It is written in PHP and supports MySQL and PostgreSQL, 
and has generally come with good incremental upgrade scripts.

Absolutely.  In addition to that, it supports:

- Custom fields at the project or bug entry level.
- Flexible, exportable reporting.
- Multiple levels of user access and privilege (custom configurable if 
necessary, but default built-ins work well) so as to limit authority 
to view, submit, and resolve or delete bugs.  Configurable per project 
if needed.
- Easy release notes generation.
- Configurable e-mail notification of users for virtually all events.
- Linkage of bug entries to each other causally (e.g. depends on, 
child of, related to, etc.)
- SVN and Git integration via plugins.
- Colour-coding for easy visual classification of severity of bugs, or 
subject matter affiliation, etc.

It's a clean, straightforward and functional interface for technical 
people that neither tries to be overly polished, nor bizarre and 
recondite.
