One nice package I've come across is called Req.  Here is part of the
intro blurb:

----------------------------------------------------------------
           Req - An email-based request tracking system

Overview
========
Req is a tracking system based around this paradigm: people with problems
or questions send requests via email to a group responsible for dealing
with those issues.  Those requests are assigned numbers that can be
tracked and managed in various ways.   The group handling the requests
needs to have access to a UNIX computer or network. 

Req was designed for a systems administration group but could be applied
to other groups as well.
