If you go to, say, the support project bug tracker:

http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/?atid=146&group_id=1000013&func=browse

there's a dropdown list at the top of the page and a textfield to put a
search keyword in. This dropdown list is context-sensitive, so if
you're viewing a forum, the "bugs" option will go away and "this forum"
or something to that effect will appear.

Yup, true, probably not.

Yup, PGFoundry is pretty glacial right now. It's getting put on new
hardware, though, which should help. FWIW, RubyForge (another GForge
instance) has some projects that have a fair number of items in the
trackers:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=202&group_id=31&func=browse

and it seems to hold up fairly well.

But I agree wholeheartedly that it's better to tailor the tool to the
dev process than vice versa.
