Integrating WP as a CMS with a Bug Tracker

by

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?

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.
