I'll toss in another option Request Tracker [http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/]
is used by corporate sites to track bugs or issues and I get the impression that
it's very flexible and could maybe be integrated into tikiwiki.  It can be
authenticated off of Apache who can authenticate off of LDAP like tikiwiki.  I
expect our devs could easily make it a seamless integration.
