Erm... yes, many companies and OSS projects are using bug trackers (aka ticket 
tracking systems).
Actually I even think that more OSS projects use those as compared to companies.

But... otrs ?
What is used is (in no particular order)
- - Bugzilla
- - Mantis
- - JIRA
- - Trak
(my personal favorite being JIRA, awesome stuff, but it's not Free although 
used for free by many
OSS projects, especially in the Java field)

Mmm.. maybe you didn't notice that there already is a Bugzilla installation for 
SUSE Linux.
It hasn't been discussed in every detail but it was an idea to also use it for 
openSUSE (hence,
community) related topics.
