That is what I meant, yes. As to which CMS, I am not qualified to
venture a guess.

It's what CPAN & freenode use. There are other large installations,
a list of other entities can be found at [1]. You can test it at [2].
Note that it's main focus is a generic 'ticket' which can be pretty
much anything you want it to be. Issue tracking is only one of these.
I have to admit that until you have groked the mental model of what
the devs did, it's next to impossible to set up & customize RT, but
once you are past that, it's incredibly powerful. Kinda like Vim ;)

Aye.

Aye.

That is basically what CPAN is doing. Unfortunately, its interface
is not ideal and too large & cumbersome for Vim scripts. Maybe
we could steal from somewhere else?
