That's a possibility.

Here's quick run down on pro/cons that I see. Feel free to add to it.

Launchpad:

  Pros:
  Nice interface
  Blueprints
  We're already using it
  Mailing lists
  Release planning
  Free

  Cons:
  bazaar: we'd have to learn it. Is it fast enough?

Bitbucket:

  Pros:
  Mercurial
  Nice interface
  Wiki
  Simple management of ssh keys

  Cons:
  Not free. Expense is not prohibitive, but it's admin.
  Feature planning and bugs reports are mixed up.
