Although if you following the link it says:

"""We're sorry, we're not longer accepting applications for free trac/svn
accounts. People have left their Trac sites unattended and as a result
our server is being flooded with spam. We need to do some serious cleanup
and when that's done we'll accept new applications again (that might take
weeks, if not months though)."""

Doesn't sound too promising....

Trac is a pain to manage -- I got really tired of dealing w/ wiki and bug
tracker spam on pydotorg.python.org and was unable to control spam without
shutting down self-service account creation.
