It can be both, I read the comment you are answering to as problems that need solving. "A reimplementation of git" or "a home-made bug tracker" could be trying to solve the problem that they didn't have version control nor a bug tracker, but the proposed idea of creating one from scratch instead of using an existing one (in these clear-cut cases) is ill-advised.

In this specific case, both git and a variety of bug trackers were available and very usable. Neither project answered a precise problem we encountered. Both might possibly have answered problems we might possibly have encountered when scaling up, something that never happened.
