That's another option, although I couldn't see how to download tarballs.

I'm not opposed to bugzilla if it is the best option.  Especially if we 
can start with a simplified version and grow into it's more advanced 
features.

Lots of interesting options on Freshmeat, but of course most solutions 
are somebody's half-baked weekend project written over a weekend in Ada 
for their Amiga. ;')

But, take a look at this:

http://www.edgewall.com/trac/screenshots.html

It happens to cover most of the things we were discussing, and a few 
more we hadn't thought of (like project time line, changeset summary, 
etc.)  A few shortfalls, but might be adaptable... just kicking around 
some thoughts.

Yes!  If the new system uses a SQL backend (like my favorite 
PostgreSQL), then it shouldn't be too bad to figure out how to import 
all the existing tickets in.
