I'd love to see some kind of distributed bug reporting/handling in git though. And, ideally, integrated with code review. I don't know how useable any of the solutions in this space are.

Forgejo is supposedly building distributed collaborative features for git, but they've barely made any progress in a year beyond adding an empty skeleton metadata API (and unfortunately it's going to use ActivityPub, so the result is all but guaranteed to be a big ball of mud).

The closest existing thing to what you're asking for may be Fossil, which is lacking the somewhat critical feature here of "being git". And its code review support is a bit nonexistent, since it was built in service of a project that infamously doesn't take any outside contributions. Could serve as a source of inspiration for anyone looking to build something new though.
