You want an issue tracker: I would suggest Roundup or RT, but I'm sure
there are others that would do a good job. If you don't need to
handle incoming mail (for "subscriptions" or other user interaction)
and are hoping to grow to where you need an industrial-strength
solution, Bugzilla. (Not that Roundup or RT aren't industrial
strength, just that the very large issue trackers I know of are
roll-yer-own, like Debian BTS and SourceForge Tracker, or Bugzilla.)
