I'm a lazy developer, too ;-) But do we only want to attract grey-haired GIS 
experts with long time CVS (you remember?) experience? In about two years from 
now you will have to explain people how this non-distributed SCM called SVN is 
working ;-)

AFAIK we have virtual machines there. I would volunteer in setting up a 
Redmine instance using the OSGeo LDAP logins. In our company we migrated all 
Trac instances to one Redmine installation more than two years ago.
