Cannot find any RSes to support notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There's a fairly in-depth review here: http://www.javaworld.com/article/2077696/java-security/what-issue-tracking-system-is-best-for-you-.html - granted, that's just one article. This software seems so widespread that it's tough to find other reliable-source coverage amid all the blogs and forums. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I saw that article and dismissed it because it covers "Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA" and when I looked didn't see page 2. Both Bugzilla and JIRA are notable. That's good evidence toward notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment There is also the book Managing Software Development with Trac and Subversion by Packt publishing. The author looks independent of the Trac dev team, so I think this would count as an in-depth independent RS. --Mark viking (talk) 00:17, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Its used by many notable projects and it should stay when there are articles about for example Redmime or Apache Bloodhound which is Trac fork.--Oranjelo100 (talk) 12:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Covered in a couple more books (which don't have trac in title)  also at length, so I think it passes WP:GNG. Also compared with Bugzilla in another book here. There are some ~450 GS hits that mention it together with bugzilla . Someone not using his real name (talk) 14:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Definitely keep
 * Keep. There are independent articles and books about this subject and those can be used to provide viable references. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
