seems from your requirements such a system
could be implemented with shell scripts and
flatfiles. or python or perl or...; nothing
fancy is needed.
regardless of the software, it won't mean
anything unless it's used. the main question
in my mind is how to guide/enforce/<other>
use (the */*/* list is suggestion, not
recommendation, interpret it loosely, at
least for now).
