WordPress uses Trac: http://trac.wordpress.org/

I've found it to be quite handy.  How much use you get out of it  
depends on how many of the features you want to really use.  For  
instance, it has ticket integration, but if you are doing that in  
another system then it won't be of much use to you.  The ticket  
integration has some neat tricks using Subversion hooks to watch for  
commit logs that mention fixes for tickets, then Trac will  
automatically catch that and close the ticket (if that is what was  
indicated).

I'd recommended it.  I'm not aware of any another Subversion specific  
project layer that compares with it at this point.
