Bugzilla does all this (see http://www.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2002-July/009958.html ) How about installing it? 
Would be perfect for both bug reports and sending patches.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/webtools/bugzilla-2.16.1.tar.gz to download :)

And talking about installing new software, what about subversion?
