Google Issue tracking software?

Tags:

bug-tracking

What is the issue tracking system used by Google Code to track projects like GWT http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list Chromium http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list etc?

I'd like to know if this bug tracking software is an open source project available for download.

The issue tracking software that was used on Google Code was never open-sourced, as it depended upon many Google-internal systems (eg. BigTable). The site was developed in Python from about August 2005 through to the launch of Google Code in July 2006, by a team of four engineers (including myself).

When you create a new project on code.google.com, the issue tracker comes with it. As far as I know, this is a custom issue tracker built for Google Project Hosting, and according to Wikipedia, the code for Google's issue tracker isn't open source. They do have an API for building client applications that interact with the Issue Tracker, though. An open source client library has been written in C#, but I haven't used it, so I can't speak to its functionality or flexibility.
