Would a PostgreSQL / PHP solution be practical for the Feature/Bug tracking?
(I'm thinking specifically of the mirrors here.)

How 'bout JitterBug?  http://samba.anu.edu.au/jitterbug/
or GNATS:  http://www.cs.utah.edu/csinfo/texinfo/gnats/gnats.html

I've tried GNATs, and didn't really like it...its worked effectively at
FreeBSD, but...

Ouch, JitterBug looks painful :(  

I'm willing to install either, but I think that GNATs, from what I'm used
to of it, is the better one, since it allows for email based bug
reports...

How about W3PDB?  http://www.bawue.de/~mergl/export/w3pdb-0.20.tar.gz

It was written by Edmund Mergl and uses PostgreSQL + Apache to provide
a GNATS-like database enabled problem tracking system.  I'm using 
WWWGNATS which is very dated but was the best Open Source option 5 
years or so ago.  I looked at moving from GNATS to W3PDB but haven't
had the time.  Looked promising though.

There's also bugzilla.   http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
