For example, a distro might have its own bug tracking system and also sometimes make commits that refer to the upstream bug tracker. I don't think that's important to necessarily address in the first version of a project like this, but thought I should mention it to help plans for the future. Gerrit keeps its configuration in a file named "project.config" in the tree associated to the refs/meta/config commit so a single configuration can be applied to the entire repository. Which .gitbugtraq file should take effect in a repository with multiple branches?
