As you may have gathered from my reply of a minute ago, I have a
difficult time keeping all of these categories straight.  ;->  Sorry
about that.

By "change management system", you mean scheduling and assignment of
tasks.  E.g., IBM Remedy, ChangeSynergy, Rational ClearQuest.  Maybe one
that integrates with source-code management?

I don't know any open-source Linux implementations.  Project management
in general is something that open-source coders don't bother trying to
do much, it seems, and doubly so the fancy kind with reporting for
nervous managers, etc.  

But GForge (http://gforge.org/) might be good enough.  Let me explain:

Tim Purdue was one of the people who originally designed the SourceForge 
software.  After VA Software took his work proprietary and did their
best to confuse & mislead the remaining open-source forks of that
project, Tim waited long enough after leaving VA Software for his legal
obligations to no longer be an obstacle, and then set out to revise and
clean up the last open-source version -- which is now GForge.  Here's
his account of the story:

GForge includes "Task Manager", which is a half-successful sort of CMS
feature, which Tim intends to replace with something better, soon.  If
you've used SourceForge.net, you've probably encountered it.  Anyhow,
maybe installing GForge would meet your needs.  Or maybe not.
