No mention of Fossil, which works great and proves that the difficulty is in gathering dev interest.

It may be that the presence of Fossil as a mature option is enough to dissuade people from choosing/working on alternatives. I’m pleased to see git-bug slowly making progress though, maybe it will get there in time.

Fossil is very opinionated about some things, in particular, the inability to rewrite history, which makes it a non-option for some. So there's still a niche for Git-based distributed bug tracking.

Thanks for reminding me of Fossil. I've been developing something locally and keeping track of things in a text file.
