The problem is when you have a bunch of projects, all server by the same gitweb, but otherwise unrelated, so needing different committags (e.g. one project uses Mantis and needs "BUG(n)" and "FEATURE(n)", another uses Bugzilla and needs "bug nn", yet another doesn't use any bugtracker). And for committag you would want also information if to use it in summary (title) in shortlog, head, history etc. views.

But this might be a good idea.

We loop over all enabled (active) committags.
