Garrett Dimon is writing a series of posts on the design of his issue tracking system. The design if for smaller projects than Drupal, but it may provide some inspiration.
So far:

tracking tracker...

One thing that I found inspiring in Garrett's work, surprisingly (IANADesigner), is his focus on the design of his issue tracker. In a landscape of software project tools that stretches far and wide, one often finds them described as "designed for developers" which usually actually means "designed by developers". Garrett's attention to detail on his UI design is refreshing, and highlights how thoughtful design can really aid workflows.
