Hi Karsten,
things I didn't answer either don't apply to me for some reason, or I don't use them (if they're Trac fields) or I have nothing to say for other reasons.

2 Solving typical software development tasks
Note that the questions below don't just focus on Trac, but on any tools or communication media you use for solving a task.
2.1 How do you decide what to work on, both when fixing bugs or when implementing new features?
By priority, usually putting out the most important fires on one of the services like BridgeDB/GetTor/Weather. Usually these important things come up via IRC conversations or Trac tickets. When I'm looking for work otherwise, I look through Trac.
2.2 How do you keep track of what things you're supposed to do for sponsors and for when?
Currently doesn't apply to me.
2.3 How do you memorize new ideas to work on when they come up?
Trac.
2.4 How do you coordinate working together with someone on something?
Usually via IRC or email.
2.5 How do you learn who you could work together with on something?
By chance, IRC or email.
2.6 What other software development tasks do you have that may be supported by Trac or a Trac-like system?
None.
Hope this helps, /C
