I think this sounds pretty sane.  Getting approved for trac should be as 
simple as having the CLA complete, or something similar.  I think its a good 
policy discussion to see if we want to involve the CLA for project hosting.  
I know its stifled some of the work in Kadischi according to some of the 
users that would like to contribute but don't want to go down the CLA route.  
Also Trac can be used pretty easily in anonymous mode.
