Plus 1 for Launchpad.
We use it for maintaining VM and the collection of facilities on the site work quite well. The main downside is its over-reliance on the web. The other is that it uses Bazaar for version control, which is probably not as streamlined as Git.
But Launchpad is an integrated project management site that allows you to schedule milestores/releases, allocate bugs/issues to them, and makes sure that everything gets done. It provides for a variety of roles such as bug supervisor, driver, release manager etc., and allow for bugs/issues to be allocated to various members of the team. For a large team of contributors, which is what Org mode seems to be tending towards, it could be a big win.
You can check out the VM home page, https://launchpad.net/vm, to see how it works.
Cheers,
Uday
