What distinguishes BuGit is that it uses a representation that lets Git take care of all the merging that can be done automatically (and there are only very few cases where conflicts can arise, the only important one so far is when the bug's name is changed concurrently), and that individual issues can have their own life rather than being tied to a particular database (so in an ideal world, when Debian gets an Emacs bug and forwards it to us, we could share the same BuGit issue for it (not the same issue Number, but same issue ID) so any comment added from the Debian side appears in Emacs's database and vice versa).
