I can't answer all your questions but here are at least some answers.

There's documentation on SF at http://sf.net/docman/?group_id=1 .

Bug tracking has state fields similar to what you say. It can send an
E-mail on every change. You can monitor a bug.

There is a cvsweb interface, which I guess is similar to bonsai.
Don't know about LXR and tinderbox.

There's a daily export of your whole project CVS, which you could
periodically download to another site for backup purposes. There's
also a facility for downloading the contents of the bugs database.
