And following the status of a bug and the history of this bug is very h= ard too. The bugzilla approach is really useful for the user who is reporting bu= gs: all the bugs are tracked, you can see if a bug has been already fil= led and put some additional informations if necessary. I will have a look at the JIRA thing.

Well, no, the real answer is that for those who actually write code and apply patches, an e-mail based workflow is simpler: Git has tools to apply patches right from Unix mailboxes, so one is able to just save a thread with the final patch series to a file and apply it. Some people also prefer discussing patches inline -- in the same e-mail thread the patch series being discussed had started. I'm aware of at least one big project sporting the same approach to handling bugs -- PostgreSQL. But there was an announcement that an experimental JIRA instance has been set up for Git [1]. I'm not sure what its current status is, but you could look at it. Also Git's mirror on github [2] supposedly provides for pull requests. Again, not sure whether/how they're handled. 1. http://git-blame.blogspot.ru/2012/02/experimental-git-bug-tracker.ht= ml 2. https://github.com/git/git/
