I'm thinking about distributed issue tracking systems that play nice with git. I don't care about other version control systems anymore :). I also prefer command line interfaces, because as commentators on the blog have mentioned, I'm a Luddite (in the imprecise, slang sense).
So far I have found a few projects, and tried to guess how much of a going concern they are.
Git Specific
ticgit I don't know if this github at its best or worst, but the original project seems dormant and there are several forks. According the original author, this one is probably the best.
git-issues Originally a rewrite of ticgit in python, it now claims to be defunct.
VCS Agnostic
ditz Despite my not caring about other VCSs, ditz is VCS agnostic, just making files. Seems active.
cil takes a similar approach to ditz, is written in Perl rather than Ruby, and should release again any day now (hint, hint).
milli is a minimalist approach to the same theme.
Sortof VCS Agnostic
bugs everywhere is written in python. Works with Arch, Bazaar, Darcs, Git, and Mercurial. There seems to some on-going development activity.
simple defects has Git and Darcs integration. It seems active. It's written by bestpractical people, so no surprise it is written in Perl.
