I'm working (slowly) on integrating it with Mantis (www.mantisbt.org), 
which we use at work. It shouldn't be difficult to reuse that code with 
Bugzilla and other similar trackers.

The recognition thing is done in the update-script, looking for a hash 
followed by a number (the bug-id) and then sending that commit to 
another program, so it's simply a matter of including the bug-id, 
prefixed with a hash, and the bug-topic somewhere in the commit message, 
which is a fairly good practice anyways.
