We use Bytemark's Symbiosis

security updates.

Google groups. Life is too short to mess around with email :)

Github. It has this system to hook into commits:

Kahu (http://www.getkahu.com/) It is written in Racket. :)

[If you seriously consider this, we'll set you up with demo accounts.

There are many other bug tracking systems.
