Check out Kiln and FogBugz made by Fog Creek Software (Joel Spolsky)
Kiln is a distributed version control and FogBugz is for issue/bug tracking, project management and customer support.
Both are web based and hosted by Fog Creek but there is an option to host them privately. They both have a range of pricing plans depending on the number of users.

Flyspray has been fairly painless for me to set up and use. Do you need printable reports or would a very savable searches do? Since it is a web app, it's fairly easy to give your users a link, or if it is a winforms app, you can host a minibrowser in your application. Flyspray supports anonymous usage, but I can't say I've used it that way much.

Have a look at Gemini. The guys at Countersoft have gone all out with the latest version and I can highly recommend it. It's free for up to 3 users and has a comprehensive REST api you can interface with. It's also highly flexible and configurable so you can structure your projects easily to include only the stuff that's relevant to your project(s).

You might want to look at:
getsatisfaction.com - has SSO (called Fastpass) and APIs
Atlassian JIRA - has SSO through Atlassian's Crowd product, and various other options, plus APIs
getsatisfaction is quite end-user oriented, while JIRA is more of a developer's bug tracker.

Seems to be the right direction for your needs.

I would add a custom field to each request named Customer requester, or something similar, and populate it with the email address of the requester when there was one. Then before a release, you could run a report to CSV of all of the tickets fixed in that release and select all of the tickets with non-empty Customer requester fields, and use that as input ...
