Integrating WP as a CMS with a Bug Tracker

First of all, I can't use Trac, which is what the WP dev community uses to track bugs. However, my consulting company is using WordPress as a CMS for just about everything - product information, sales portal, news site, etc. I'd like to set it up to integrate our plug-in listing with a bug tracker ...

Right now, I have Flyspray set up as a standalone bug tracker. It works alright, but it's a separate domain (http://bt.jumping-duck.com) so that it remains separate from WordPress. But I'd like to be able to pull in numbers of tickets onto the WP page listing our plug-ins. Ideally, users could also submit bug reports directly from the plug-in info page.

Does anyone have any experience integrating WP with a bug tracking system like this? Should I stick with keeping the two systems separate?

Maybe something like this "Advanced Ticket System" plugin?

Only catch is that the current free version isn't WP3.x copatible, you have to donate to get that version. I have been looking for something similiar too.

Hey I think this may be what you're looking for. It's a free WordPress theme called Quality Control Theme for ticket tracking. From there you can customize it however you want.

This option will be the least amount of work for you because the framework is already there.

The Custom Post Types UI plugin might be a good start as far as getting all of the post types and taxonomies setup.

I don't see any reason not to make WordPress into a bug tracker. Essentially, tickets would be a non-hierarchical custom post type which would have several taxonomies, such as priority, status, etc.
