I agree that there are not many matured "one-catch-all" projects other
than trac, but I know at least of another distributed bug tracker:
DisTract (http://distract.wellquite.org). This one currently does not
use any kind of webserver, but a Firefox browser to operate (due to
heavy JS-specific usage).

I'm open for everything here, patches accepted =) One could imagine
implementing a small web server for guitone with which one could "serve"
the otherwise hard-coded information. And having a tightly coupled bug
tracker / version control system side-by-side could really has it
advantages.

Wrong, there is Savannah
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=monotone) with many open
bugs/suggestions, but I admit the developers don't use it very much,
maybe because its not as tightly coupled to the way they work.
