To implement the synchronous verification checks provided by Scmbug:

http://www.mkgnu.net/?q=scmbug
http://files.mkgnu.net/files/scmbug/SCMBUG_RELEASE_0-23-0/manual/html-single/manual.html#VERIFICATION-CHECKS

In particular:

(1) Convention-based labeling

http://files.mkgnu.net/files/scmbug/SCMBUG_RELEASE_0-23-0/manual/html-single/manual.html#VERIFICATION-CHECKS-CONVENTION-BASED-LABELING

(2) The capability to freeze access to certain branches

http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=859

(3) Valid product-name verification

There are a lot more checks, as you can see from the manual, that are
needed on a commit trigger, rather than just a tag trigger.

A lot of people find the integration provided by Scmbug useful and some
(Jakub, back me up here) have requested support for Git.
