Okay. Should you feel like expanding on the project's intranet, say by opening up the codebase more or by launching a public bugtracker, feel free to shoot me a mail. Chances are I've tried it, know someone who has or have at least researched it already. (not so much programmer stuff; more into management)
I think google code (mercurial version, pick at signup) is your best bet for a free, high quality repository. I also found a video and a good article on GIT, which is nearly the equivalent of Mercurial (aka HG). Other tutorials are walls of text so... http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html [first video is partially about GitHub, the hosting service, not the source program] http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/03/intro-to-git-for-web-designers/ (I'm just throwing it out there, I don't know how familiar you've made yourself with all of this). Naturally though if you make the decision to start looking for an online repo service, there'd be a couple worth looking into (mainly the large 3, bazaar, mercurial and git). You are eligible to an open source project license of JIRA - http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/ - Really powerful enterprise issue tracking and project management if necessary. Trac and Bugzilla are good tools, but can be just as difficult to set up as JIRA and are not nearly as user friendly, nor easy on the eye, he he. Saros - https://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/w/SE/DPP - is a tool well worth looking into if you happen to be an Eclipse user.
