I am looking for a bug tracking system that has the following requirements:

• Ties in perfectly with Subversion (SVN, remote or local)
• Built in PHP
• Open Source
• Connects to MySQL or PostgreSQL
• Built-in Unicode support
• Accessible from web, email and RSS
• Requires minimum configuring and ‘hacking’ to get it working.

A system like that would be a perfect fit for people who have a (gs) server with MediaTemple: i.e: who don’t have full control.

I know there are tons of hosted solutions such as SourceForge, Tigris, Google Code, and even the beta DejaVu, but that’s not what i’m looking for.

I don’t want to go through an approval process for each project. I want to be able to tweak the system however I want. I want to host it on the same server as my repository. I don’t want to rely on my hosting provider to supply me with “python modules” or a “ruby on rails container”.

Am I looking for the impossible? Does this not exist yet?

If not, I guess I just found another idea for an open source project ;)

If you know of such a system that is just “good enough”, please post in the comments below. Thanks!
