Frankly, the point of whole thing is the fact it is integrated. Writing a software that binds a bug tracker to others things is not a complete stupid idea. But that's not the way sourceforge was designed and so neither the way savane was designed. And currently I see no point in moving to another bug tracker (that would be a completely different project; not ininteresting conceptually, but well...). Finally, the only financial support to the project is the CERN; so if the CERN wants to the trackers to be improved over other features, it will be the trackers that will be improved. I hadnt myself a clear idea of the tracker usefulness with the sole experience of Savannah. Most persons that go on Savannah (true also for Gna) come to get mailing-list and cvs repositories. Only few of them really use a bug tracker, only a few of them are project developed by large teams (there are project with 50 members, but more than a half are member for historical reasons). At CERN, the situation is completely different, almost the opposite; they don't need Savane to get CVS repositories, and they use the trackers in a way more intensive way than any project at Savannah or Gna. Most features of the bug trackers are just completely ignored at Savannah and Gna, while they are commonly used at CERN - because at CERN, it is a professional environment, not projects mostly done by volunteers.
