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
