I've administered JIRA; it is a bureaucratic nightmare that requires a
full-time person to manage its insane workflows. But I tried not to let
my personal feelings leak into the summary. I am glad to hear it is
Ruled Out.

Redmine is a very typical Ruby on Rails application. It works as
advertised but requires familiarity with that ecosystem to install and
operate. Mantis is a php application with all of the typical travails
of php.

OpenID as we knew it is dead; it has been and/or is being replaced with
a successor called 'OpenID Connect' which works almost nothing like
OpenID used to. It's a regrettable branding collision, but it at least
adds proper authentication to OAuth2, which really only gets
authorization right.
In my personal opinion, nobody's got any of this stuff "right" yet. RT
and Bugzilla work around it by either relying entirely on email
address as identity or by having a siloed inbuilt id/password combo.
