Distributed bug tracking
One possibility for maintaining a centralized point for public reports, while still distributing the bug database for day-to-day work, is just to treat the public repository as one of a number of peers. You can still update in both directions. Users wouldn't need their own git tree; they could use a bugzilla-style web interface to interact with one particular tree.
But developers wouldn't use the same approach. If Alice has fixed a bug in her own tree, she would want to update her local bug database as well (ideally by the same checkin, so that the mod to the bug's state is an atomic transaction that goes with the mod to the code). But since the bug still exists in developer Bob's tree, the bug database is naturally in a different state. Once developer trees are merged with the public tree, the database users see would be updated.
