As Eoin said, make sure you take a look at trac-hacks.org and the plugins on there. Some of what your talking about has been done in one form or another. Also, much of this work dove-tails or depends on the workflow feature for 0.11. This is currently being worked on by retracile (Eli Carter). Take a look at: http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/sandbox/pycon/workflow and get in touch with Eli such that what you decide to work on might actually get merged. Finally, it is well worth your time to hang out in #trac on irc.freenode.net if you are going to do work on Trac. Most of the developers are in there fairly frequently. And while it's only "unofficially"[1] logged, it's a great place to hash out ideas. > This doesn't seem to be useful for open source project but planning > and tracking activities are very important for commercial software > projects.

There are indeed many open source projects using Trac. However, there are also a surprising number of commercial entities, software development and not, that use Trac also. The features that you talk about would be very welcome. Some (most?) would best be implemented as plugins because they may not be useful to all. However, workflow will be a great boon to your efforts.
