It would've been if we have a MySQL server available on Alioth, which we don't
have. :/

Well, I'll give it a try locally (might be useful for other projects too) :)

After all, we could even move away from alioth and go somewhere else, where we
could have MySQL, PHP, [..] to run our own BTS, and Git. Ideas? (AFAICT,
Savannah! has Git and PHP, but doesn't offer MySQL -- am I wrong?)

That's the nifty feature I love in launchpad. Each bug may be assigned to
multiple "products": upstream source, Ubuntu package, Debian package, Gentoo
package, (and I believe other distributions could be registered rather easily
there)

However, I'd still wait a bit more. There were upgrading plans on Alioth, and
in July LP will become free software.

Kindly,
David
