I am using Asana. It is easy to get the hang of, has a lot of features, and the free version is fully functional. Works well for lightweight task lists and (still testing but it seems like) also heavier project planning/dependency type task lists.

I've worked with both JIRA and Redmine. For a small team, I think Redmine is a little easier to get going with (and free), but JIRA is very customizable (but can take a decent amount of initial time setting it up). Both have the capability of grabbing issues via email, so in both cases when I worked with them, staff could fill out a form (on the intranet), which would send information formatted a certain way (based on the form inputs) so that they are automatically added to the relevant project and such. Not sure about the scheduling part. I know you can set a "due date", which could serve as a reminder.
