Just to throw this in the mix: I contribute to a project called Koha,
which uses Bugzilla as it's tracker.  I know previously this has come up
and I think there are a number of people who don't like it — the reason
I bring it up now, is because there is an extension for git called
git-bz, which basically provides commandline access to bugzilla — at
least for patch management (and I think commenting… though not 100%
sure).

You can apply patches, including entire series attached to specific bugs
to a codebase, upload new patches (including 'obsoleting' previous
versions).

Though I guess you'd still have to perform 'read' operations through the
browser.

I don't have a horse in this race, just throwing in 2¢… :-)

Happy hacking,

Alex
