JIRA is everything I dislike about github's UI, but far worse, at
least from my experience using it on Atlassian/bitbucket. So it's
pretty much out of the question.

Mantis doesn't seem so bad as a user but I have no idea how bad it is
under the hood. Redmine looks kinda nice and Alpine uses it.

Re: OAuth and OpenID, I get the impression that OpenID is dead, so
support for it probably isn't useful. At least Google and likely other
providers have dropped it, right?
