I still fail to see how Redmine doesn't fit into requirements summarized
at that wiki page[1], so that must be something other than formal
requirement of being free/open software and running postgres behind
(some sort of "feeling" maybe?)

Jay, Alvaro, Dimitri (and whoever else wants to speak up) could you
please describe your ideal tool for the task?

Given that every other existing tool likely have pissed off someone
already, I guess our best bet is writing one from scratch.

Or maybe there isn't really a need for a tracker?  The core team have
managed to live without one for so long after all...
