I think the idea of using a kind of bugzilla system is ok for
coordinating work, but I think a whole bugzilla is to big just for
managing documents.
I would recommend some kind of management Software. I have such a
thing develop with a friend of mine for coordinating different people
working on different tasks in the same organisation.
If someone likes to take a deeper look on this approch, I can send
him the source Code (PHP).
The system itself is quite simple and derived from a kind of
eletronical todo-list. It splits up in different tasks (called
tickets). Each ticket contains a detailed description of the task and
also holds a list of actions taken to solve a problem or complete a
task.
For example this would mean: someone who finds a bug, opens up a
ticket, describing the problem, next an action is added about the
tries to contact the author, and if they were successful or not.
At the end, when the task is done, it is stored in an archive which
is easily searchable due to the use of a database to store the
different tickets.
