So long as you only need a single level of domain (i.e. bugs.scribus.info or
wiki.scribus.info and not more.bugs.scribus.info) take a look at StartCom
(startssl.com). They have the advantage of already being in most browsers,
which CA Cert aren't - or weren't last time I checked. They do free
certificates, although you do have to renew yearly, which is probably helpful
for project funds :)

I tend to use StartCom for external sites and CA Cert for internal intranet
ones, where I need multiple sub domains (i.e. wiki.home.aptanet.com, etc.) and
have full control over installing the root authority in the client browser.
