As soon as Mathias some hours left (should be next week), he will write a 
plugin for customizing Redmine to QGIS' needs. The most important things I 
currently see:
-Don't show members of project, if more than 50 (#3983)
-Make "User plugins" the default parent project for new projects (#3956, 
#4545)
-Hide Repository link on Overview page (currently implemented as patch)

Regards
Pirmin
