Out of curiosity, what do you think is overloaded with it? I believe 
the ticket system can be fairly easily customized using a template. 
Should be a lot easier than to completely rewrite the ticket system, 
don't you think? :)

Not re-using someone else's solution just because it doesn't do exactly 
the last 10% the way you want them to be done, and roll your own stuff, 
is generally a bad idea.  There is a *lot* of active development going 
on with Trac, and there are quite a lot more active devs. Oh, NIH is 
the real term for it.
