Pierre, what happened to git://git.madism.org/grit.git ?

There exists few implementations of distributed bug tracker idea. They include:

 * Bugs Everywhere (http://bugseverywhere.org), written in Python,
   developed in Bazaar, has Git backend support. Formerly written by
   Panoramic Feedback (note that there is stale version of this tool),
   picked up by one of developers

 * DisTract (http://www.distract.wellquite.org), written in Haskell,
   uses Monotone as backend. Has good reviews on blogs, e.g. by
   Masukomi.

 * DITrack (http://www.ditrack.org), written in Python, currently
   uses Subversion as backend, has plans to be backend-agnostic.
   Inspired by Subissue.
