What project management tool does FPC and Lazarus developers use? I mean besides mantis for bug tracking?

None, simply because we don't have any time budgets/resources but people are working as soon as they find time.

I am thinking along the lines of JIRA, Redmine, Fogbugz etc. It is hard to get a view of what things are progressing or what needs doing,

See mantis ;)

As far as FPC is concerned: none.

There's only the bug tracker, svn commit logs and mailing list discussions for that currently.

Mantis is important. For releases there is a sort of todo list in the wiki: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_0.9.28_release_plan and
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Release_2.4.0

I think it will be a good idea.

I have been experimenting with Redmine, and though I haven't used it intensively, it makes me see how useful a project management tool can be in a project with a lot of contributors and interested users.

Perhaps some of the major developers could try something like that on a personal basis.

Redmine is cooler. People experienced with both prefer it. I dabbled with Trac a few years ago, but never even got round to using it for bug tracking etc.

Redmine appears to have been designed with project management in mind from the very start. In all fairness it doesn't take much time to setup, but I guess you have to get used to it and be able to migrate your data as well.
