And we went with Redmine (multi product support was a requirement).
If you don’t need multi product support, I think Trac has the advantage that 
if/when Bloodhound becomes under active development, it is easy to make the 
switch. We never experienced any bugs with Bloodhound (v0.7 and v0.8) during 
the 6-12 months of using it, but we needed something that was regularly 
maintained so any bugs would eventually be resolved.

That aside, I think we as users are sometimes more demanding than fair. It is 
an open source project, and as far as I have understood it, all development 
(now) occurs on the developers' free time and without compensation. The nature 
of open source allows anyone to fix bugs, to their best of their abilities, 
which in turn allows you to patch issues that are important to you, but not 
prioritised by the core development team. (But for us who do not have the 
ability or time to do it - regular maintenance is a big thing)

Sorry for the short rant, keep up the good work!

Regards,
