Around 2010-2015 there were a whole bunch of these distributed git bugtrackers and none of them took off. Most are completely dead. IIRC one of the biggest problems was its feature: issue state being distributed as it is, it was very easy for developers to end up with issues having different states/comments, and depending on the implementation even differed across local branches. But also in a work environment there was no place for project managers to view/create/update issues. I remember listing out 4-5 of these in the past when the topic has come up, but the only old one I can remember/find right now is https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue Edit - Found some more using duckduckgo instead of google: * https://github.com/jashmenn/ditz (last update 12 years ago) * https://bugseverywhere.org/ (I think this was the most popular at one
