Have a look at CVSTrac <http://www.cvstrac.org> - indeed only admins 
can create new users, but you can set up permissions for an 
anonymous user as well (e.g., open ticket). CVSTrac's own CVSTrac is 
at <http://cvs.cvstrac.org>

It integrates nicely with CVS (I run it against CVSNT 2.0.x, for 
x=11 if I'm not mistaken, on a RedHat 7.3), includes an internal 
Wiki system that also works with checkins (e.g., if your checkin 
says 'fixes bug #128', the check-in comment inside CVSTrac will 
become a link to the relevant bug description).

It is simple, but very effective.
