I feel you. I found ways to make it more manageable - since I was the only designer at my last company, I could have it only show my issues and I was only responsible for moving them from backlog (my own backlog not the whole team's, since everything else was development related), to in progress and then to in QA, after which the PM would take over.
I can't remember where it is but you can customise the 'new issue' screen to have less than a million options.
