I'm interested what you think about BugsEverywhere ( http://bugseverywhere.org ), which keeps bug info in a hidden directory in the repo and integrates well with git. I've not used it before, but am considering it for a research project I've inherited which has no infrastructure (just source code in a zip file). I'd like to avoid proprietary hosting (eg. github) or hosting my own web server (eg. gitlab), so I'm thinking that BE would be a good fit, with hosting on gitorious.org

It looks interesting, and the multi-vcs support is quite good, and I guess in theory in a multi-repo project, you could just have a repo called "bugs" or "issues" if you wanted to keep that stuff separate.

The demo of the Web UI gave a 502 so I couldn't access it and I don't have time to try it out locally right now..

it looks like BugsEverywhere is in maintainance mode (if not dead already)
