Not this git person. ;-) I think there is a pretty major mismatch between most VCSen's features and what a bugtracker needs.
That said, a good distributed bugtracker (which implies solving hard social problems like "what to do if different contributors disagree on severity" and simple technical problems like "how to present a coherent conversation based on threads by people who might not have been aware of each other") would be a very nice thing to see, regardless of the choice of storage and network protocol used to back it.

Heh.
Thanks for some food for thought, Jonathan
