In no particular order and with no claim of being any where near
exhaustive:
* Trac
* SourceForge and its forks (GForge, Savannah(?), and others, I'm sure)
* Eclipse + add-ons
Also one could look at large OSS projects (perl, Apache, Mozilla, the
Linux kernel, GNOME, KDE, X) as examples of successful solutions to
the problem of open source distributed development.
Just as a comment - given the current use of mercurial, one of the bug
systems which has finally "hit me just right" is "ditz", which
I'm
using with in combination with git on a distributed VCS project, but
it claims to work with darcs and other such projects as well.
It has some serious flaws, but they tend to be of the "need to add
this feature" rather than "bone-headed idiocy".
Just a thought... it has the wonderful advantage of requiring no
server, and it has the mixed advantage of requiring bug entries to be
made by folks who have a copy of the source with a means of sharing it
(which means someone(s) might need to be bug meisters).
Of course, no server means no "dumb slave" to record stuff. That's a
mixed advantage, usually more of a disadvantage given the time
requirements.
