You might want to take a look at Retrospectiva as well: 
http://retrospectiva.org

I didn't get to use it in real life yet, but I've been monitoring its 
progresses for a little while now. Although it looks like Redmine at first, 
they're doing really interesting stuff that Redmine doesn't cover.

OTOH it's younger than Redmine so has less plugins available. And, of course, 
it would require proper testing to find out if it's really suitable for us (in 
particular regarding how to handle our code reviews... I'm afraid it'll be 
hard to beat gitorious' MRs there).

That was my 0.02€.

Regards.
