Actually his name is Mik Kersten, the main figure behind Mylyn.
Mylyn is a plugin for Eclipse that actually does this. It connects to 
bugzilla, trac and som other trackers and caches changes locally
until it connect to the website and syncrhronize. It does a lot more,
than that. The objectives partially overlap what Git does. Having
Mylin and Git work together would be very sweet indeed.
