I didn't follow this whole thread, but have we considered Redmine[1]?

We at CMD rely on it as the primary means of customer communication, via
email.  New email to a mailing list backed by Redmine triggers new
ticket creation and any followups result into an update to the ticket.
The ticket history is searchable, browsable (and updateable) on the web.

It's GPL-ed, uses Ruby on Rails, and comes with a broad range of
plugins[2].  Also it is quite hackable (for a RoR guy, of course.)

We could integrate Redmine with the CommitFest or even replace it
completely with a custom-written plugin.  A command line interface[3]
exists, so 'cf close ###' suggested further in this thread should be
also possible.
