Frankly I think this is a very good time, certainly as good as any, to reconsider how we track issues. It's all going to have to be setup again from scratch soon anyway.
I've personally always felt that that something integrated into Squeak itself (well, an installable package anyway) is the way for us to go, something customized to how we are accustomed to working and probably hooking into Monticello. But making any such thing will be a lot of work and someone has to step up to do it and take the risk that the community will not find the result actually usable/acceptable.
Just as a ... well, "data point":
At 3DICC we fairly recently took charge of this and I scanned the market a bit looking at Trac and a few others, even tried installing Trac (liked their idea of marrying a wiki with issue tracker) but that was a PITA.
Then I tried Redmine - which basically is a reimplementation of similar ideas but in Rails, and wow, that was very simple to get set up and it does AFAICT everything you want and is quite easy to customize - just by clicking around in the admin UIs.
It has integrated wiki blabla, and also support for SVN/git etc, and I wouldn't be surprised if you fairly easily could do a commit hook at least for MC. Granted the first time I saw their website I didn't think it looked that nice, kinda boring - but if you start clicking around you quickly realize it is neat! Also very "REST"-ful, you know with nice URLs pointing to issues, the form for creating new issues blabla...
We are really satisfied at least. :)
