Paolo,

The problem is a volunteer manpower one.  There are definitely plans,  
it is just a matter of finding the time in which we can shut down and  
implement them.  I'm sorry that I can't give a better answer than  
that.  If you have time you can devote to the effort, please join the  
SAC list, and we can get you up to date with all of the issues.  We  
would happily add another administrator of Trac if you have lots of  
familiarity with it (especially mod_python, mod_wsgi and sqlite{1,3}  
vs external db like pg).
