I understand that it is convenient if you can share the user accounts
between the website and Trac. However, in all my ignorance, this really
sounds like an overly complex approach for a relatively minor
convenience gain. After all, it's not like having separate accounts is
a critical flaw that will turn people away from the project.
Perhaps not away from the project... but it may turn people away from filing bugs. At the moment anyone who is a member of the website is also able to file a bug report (through the integration with Trac). If the integration is removed then anyone wanting to do that will also need to create an account on Trac... and having to register does often turn people away from bothering with things like this.
The alternative of course is to not require registration to use Trac... but I don't know how this will affect other things. 


Also, having separation has its positive sides too, such as making
maintenance and upgrades of each system easier without the risk of
having an adverse effect on the other system.

I have the feeling we have more important things to address on the
website than putting too many resources into this, but then that's just
my opinion. :)
Some degree of work will need to be put in to undoing the current integration or redoing it depending on what's decided. I use Trac very rarely myself so the decision doesn't really affect me. With that in mind I don't feel that it's appropriate for me to make this decision myself... which is why I've started this topic. I do recall that dropping the integration was briefly brought up before and the developers seemed largely against it. If that's still the case then I'd rather not go against their wishes (they are the ones who will be using Trac after all). But failing any other suggestions for how we might accomplish this I see no other option. =\
