There some big advantages in such collaboration for all participants:
- You get a contributor that is interested in working on your project.
- The student gets the experience in working on a real project.
- If Trac is interested to student he will continue working on it
after the science project is finished.
Well, I'm not really convinced. Working on a project like Trac means you
have a genuine interest in moving it forward, mainly because you're
using the software, and care for it. Getting a good mark is certainly
some kind of motivation, but perhaps not the fittest. Now if the student
himself knows and is interested in Trac, maybe. But then...
I will not require any payments for the student.

The fact that you even raise this point is troublesome at best. We're
all volunteers here, and don't make any money by working on Trac. I may
be wrong but it seems to me you're not very familiar with how open
source projects work.
What IMO would be a better alternative approach to what you proposed is
that you and your students could *use* the Trac software for managing
the software projects of your students, that you would then *adapt* it
to your needs or add some features (if you don't know where to start,
there are lots of ideas you could find on trac.edgewall.org, eventually
starting with the "bitesized" tickets), and if successful, contribute
back what you did. This doesn't prevent any kind of collaboration
between more seasoned Trac developers and your student(s), like we try
to do for any other contributors (as time and interest permit).
