I would go with Savannah for the start. Easiest to set up (it already
*is* set up) and there's no question that it's just a tracker and not
the primary development platform (Launchpad is pretty encompassing).
The biggest issue is developer discipline: bugs belong in the tracker,
not on the mailing list (the tracker can forward them).
