The Debian BTS is available in as the debbugs package. I have never
installed it, so I cannot really tell whether it is easy to use and maintain
or not. However, when reading the file
/usr/share/doc/debbugs/README.Debian, I have the impression that debbugs
does not work out of the box. Besides that, the Debian BTS was conceived
with Debian and its packages in mind. I am not sure it would be suitable
for Octave.
You might also consider Bugzilla, although I am not sure it will suit you.
Another possibility would be Request Tracker [1]. It seems to have all
features you are looking for: email gateway and a web interface. It is
being used in the Debian project to track admin- and keyring-related
requests [2]. Request Tracker is open-source and available in Debian as the
request-tracker6.3 package.
