Depending on how is/hard it is, I'd vote for this as well (see below).

While I kinda hope progit gets to a state where it is used and useful, I do not
see our trac instances all moving away any time soon (thus the vote for 1
or/and 2).

Having progit.dev.fedoraproject and later maybe progit.fedoraproject.org would
already help (I'd rather have .dev. than .cloud. in the url as I believe it is
more indicative of the state of the application there).
I am planning on blogging and calling for testers once I got around fixing what
I still want to fix (unit-tests and finish the git integration for tickets, git
integration for pull-request is on the roadmap but I won't wait for it before
calling for testers). More people testing will likely also help finding out how
usable the system is.

Regarding progit, it will not grow a wiki feature but offers the possibility to
have a doc repo containing text, html, markdown or rest files (the last two will
be rendered, the first two display).

For the ticketing system, we currently have:
 Tags:
 Assigned:
 Blocking:
 Depends on:
 Status:
So there won't be a roadmap as there is in trac, but this can be implemented
using the Tags, issue dependency is in, as well as assigning issues.

Do we need something else?
