I agree these tools are problematic for this reason. I understand why some people currently choose to use them, but the Foundation should investigate free alternatives that can meet our projects' needs.
I don't want to vary from Mingle or Trello until it's proven for current projects, but you and Mark Holmquist have some incentive to try out alternative tools. We could probably start a labs instance and come up with a project that is defunct or not under active development yet that we can try out using a tool of your choosing. :-)
You guys have my okay to do that for something. :-)
Dan Andreescu and I (mostly him) actually setup (a while back) a Redmine instance for this purpose (with the goal of prototyping a nice FOSS solution). It seems to be currently down, but it's at http://redmine.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/redmine/login .
