I'd vote for 1 or 2 as things we can accomplish shorter-term.

I'm not sure progit is going to be ready to wholesale replace
fedorahosted anytime soon.  Perhaps we can 'promote' it though to get
more of an idea of where its at, say give it a domain name at
progit.cloud.fedoraproject.org ?  Let's get a few more people/projects
using it.

I'm not sure that adding wiki features and trying to get parity with
trac's ticketing system are going to be simple.  A barebones
implementation could be done, but there will be a long stream of
support/RFE tickets that follow if we head down that road.
