While we're at it, I can't resist mentioning https://www.cubicweb.org/
which is a (free) software forge providing:

* project/ticket/patches/versions/comments (standard forge feature set)
* vc integration (support for subversion (!) and mercurial)
* vc review (with a somewhat crude UI, but "it works" :))
* *changeset evolution suppport* with mercurial, coupled to the review
   workflow

The sources belong to many components, from the cubicweb framework
itself (http://hg.logilab.org/grshells/grshell-cubicweb/), to the
following elements (unexhaustive list):

* http://hg.logilab.org/review/cubes/tracker
* http://hg.logilab.org/review/cubes/forge
* http://hg.logilab.org/review/cubes/vcsfile
* http://hg.logilab.org/review/cubes/vcreview
