I believe the biggest hurdle for many hackers is that in redmine, email
is not a first class citizen. The majority of hackers are never going to
want to go into a web interface to get something done, they live in
VI/Emacs and the command line.
One thing that redmine definitely breaks is proper handling of
attachments in email, thus the first thing moving to redmine would break
would be patch submission.
