Why not? Bugs are also tasks, and need to be managed and triaged in
the same way. It might be convenient to have everything in one
tracker. What's your objection? It should be easy enough to search for
tasks or bugs etc.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to start a new instance, but I
expect setting up the database, configuration etc. would require a
fairly significant amount of work. I'd much rather use existing
infrastructure.

That would be good for bugs too, actually.
