Need a Help Desk ticket system separate from bug tracking system (Trac #1251)

[butlerpd]

As we grow, it would be good to have a separate "help desk" ticket system fro user questions. Many of these will not necessarily be bugs in the software though even some of those could eventually lead to suggestions for improved documentation.

What is needed is a way to immediately record help request to track them and make sure we have responded. As it becomes clear there is a bug we can then enter an appropriate ticket for that into this trac system.

@timsnow was going to look into options. Now that we have moved to Github issues, perhaps a github-based solution would be good.

Sort of have this now, though probably need to open it up to the public. Marking as to discuss.

... to discuss with an eye on closing it soon.
