I think it's a nice concept, but there have been several implementations, and AFAIK none of them is incredibly popular. I do not know offhand if the problem is the concept or the implementations (I looked at them long ago but don't remember enough to provide any sort of reasonable critique).

I started to assemble a list of pointers, but I realized that 4 out of 5 of the projects that I had looked at a few years ago no longer exist. ;)

Here's an article from last year with a nice overview of the (non-)state and links to other sources:

I am not Junio, but I would have to say: probably not. This seems like something that can very easily sit on _top_ of git and use the git plumbing. In the long-term git may want to grow features to make integration more seamless, but we'd probably want to add them in a more functionality-agnostic way (e.g., don't grow an option to attach bug information to a commit; grow an option to attach arbitrary information to a commit. We already have this part in the form of "git notes", but there are likely other opportunities for integration).
