Coming from a background where the tools were at the same time the blessing and the curse (politically correct: excuse?), I'd say that we need to go with a simple tool but one which is highly customizable and can be reconfigured to attach to anything that we need (launchpad or anything else). The closer a tool is to a paper board the simpler, and easier to adopt.
I had a look at redmine, through zyga's setup. It is simple, it seems to be customizable (through plugins), supports various database formats, it is open source. Perhaps we ought to pilot it, and see what kind of reports it can generate (and how fast it can be reconfigured to spew new reports), as well as how well (and at what cost) it can be used with Launchpad (either through a discrete import/export of data type of symbiosis, or through continuous two-way data feed between the tools). I will raise the matter to the multimedia team as they are now starting the cycle planning. I added redmine in the spreadsheet. I wonder why it was not there yet, was there ever a decision to exclude it?
