Yes it's a bunch of plugins. As you may know or soon find, Trac is not just 
an excellent issue tracker, but is a platform for building and integrating 
other modules. This is of course evidenced by the huge number plugins on 
trac-hacks.

The aim of Bloodhound is to build new plugins (UI Redesign/Search/Ticket 
Relations/Multiproduct) and integrate existing plugins from trac-hacks, to 
build on Trac and provide an integrated and full-featured software 
configuration management tool. We don't intend to (or at least hope that we 
never have to) fork from Trac, and regularly push patches back to the Trac 
core, and will even offer significant features back to the Trac core in the 
future, and if there is interest from the core developers they may be 
integrated.

As Olemis pointed out, it is a work in progress. That said, I'd hope to get 
your interest in following our development or even contributing, but the 
components aren't ready for production use yet, and they certainly haven't 
been tested as stand-alone, so you will likely run into trouble if you plan 
to just copy one of the plugins out of the repository and integrate it into 
your project. On the other hand, we'd love to have you try it out and 
submit your thoughts back to the mailing list, and you can help shape where 
we take those plugins leading up to the first release.
 
You may also want to take a step back and survey the existing 
multi-product/project solutions:

You might take a look at what has been done with BitnamiTrac. A project 
like that is a lot of work; you'll likely need collaborators ;)

It's probably no comfort to you to know that I had it working once upon a 
time (using vim and PyCharm these days). Maybe I can find some time in the 
next few days to try to get it working again.
