Trac certainly looks promising, I've looked at it before, but it seemed too much 
for my one-man-webdev setup.

And it's restricted because?
Hosted in someone else's web space?

Indeed, leaving the site in one persons hands is always going to be a recipe for 
bit-rot, no matter how dedicated they are life will always get in the way 
eventually. Certainly we can't help without access.

This is a widely held view :)
It's not perfect by a long way, but the core is well engineered and gets better 
all the time. It's certainly got all that the Gnucash site needs.

One of the plus sides of something like Drupal is the access permissions. It's a 
relatively trivial task to set up a restricted set of users as editors - they 
don't even need to know html to edit content.

Something like
http://www.goshaky.com/goshaky-distfiles/svn2rss/
might be useful once SVN is in use - and rss feed of svn commits.
