The most important reason for me to consider moving to fossil is the
fact that it has vcs, ticketing and wiki in one app so I don't need to
integrate and then maintain 3 separate projects. Your suggestion to
introduce another support management system nullifies this major
fossil's advantage.

How about following workaround:
Provide a separate fossil server and/or repo for customers with create
ticket/comment/append permissions, team members will autosync their
repos with that one, while they will have only comment/append (on
existing tickets) permissions. Is it easier to implement/configure?
>From the security point of view its even better since one doesn't have
to expose the repo with the source code to the customers.

As mentioned before, the only feature I miss, except for this one, is
the ability to block "fossil server" from running on insecure
connections (either by implementing SSL for fossil server or/and by
simply blocking "fossil server" (or at least warning) if some
"-use-with-ssl-only" option is enabled).

Thank you,
