The main reason to use trac would be to have a lot of features in one well-maintained and solid system. The wiki, milestone management and such stuff (suitable for gsoc tasks and subprojects) and even a good bug tracker are something to favour over an own hackish solution in my opinion. We won't need to implement a wiki ourselves as trac comes with it. A bug tracker for those who do not like mailing lists would be given, - one that does not require a master degree in report generation and bug filing management to use it (*).

I only noticed that for projects, which are mostly stalled or where the whole website seems to be completely unmaintained or dead. If spam from anonymous users should go out of hands, we can change trac to accept only registered users for bug reports (which'd be a pity, though). > However, as I mentioned before I'm not really interested in bug trackers... > preferring to search for bugs... so I'll leave that choice up to the rest of I'm preferring the mailing list, but some people do not want to subscribe there or whatever and for those a small bug tracker is the perfect solution. (*) Many people, including me are pretty annoyed by bugzilla and a lot do not even report bugs (including me) to projects like mozilla anymore, as they do not want to register yet another account just for a short bug, for which they even have to spend half a day on filling out all boxes.
