The LyX project uses PmWiki, Subversion and Bugzilla, go to
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel
to check things out in action. From the top of my head, here's how I've
"integrated" them, further suggestions are very welcome of course.
* Prefix for linking into the version controlled files.
Note that the browsing the repository is done using 'Trac',
although I don't use the wiki in 'Trac'.
** The Trac browser
* A directive that takes a file from the repository and embeds
it in a wiki page. Very useful to insert the contents
of e.g. a file such as 'RELEASE-NOTES'.
* Special prefixes and markup for linking to bugs, e.g.
LyXBug:3232
* Special markup that invokes bugzilla to produce a list of
bugs that's embedded in a wiki page

I've found the integration I've done above quite useful, and I'm sure
there is much more that could be done in terms of integration. It's
probably a good idea to check how other wikis (e.g. Trac) have dealt
with this.
