These seem nearly identical to what you can get with R-Forge or with
TortoiseSVN (and likely other svn clients too).  Since any developer
is likely to have an svn client a web interface more sophisticated than
what is already available via the net has less utility than if this info were
not already available anyways.  Google code can send out email alerts.
On the other hand the complexity in dealing with Trac is a significant
disadvantage for projects the size of an R package.  I previously used Trac
for Ryacas but currently use a WISHLIST and NEWS file (both plain text
files created in a text editor) plus the svn log and find that adequate.
Clearly a lot of this is a matter of taste and of project size and there is no
right answer.
