Even more yay!

I have used roundup which is written in python and used by
python.org. It seems decent and has an email interface, so you can log
issues just by sending an email. (a cron script polling a mailbox, so
you could run a spamfilter before) It is pretty ok, I think. No spam
filter built into it though.

As for distributed git-based stuff, here is a list 
http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/git-issue-trackers/

Of these, these 2 seem most interesting to me:

http://bugseverywhere.org/be/show/HomePage
http://syncwith.us/sd/

Otherwise, there are hosted things such as:

http://lighthouseapp.com/

which provide free issue tracking, but that one requires an account with them.

Hehe, a bugtracking plugin for pyblosxom? Sounds like a cool idea.

Especiall http://bugseverywhere.org/be/show/HomePage (bugs in git
alongside the source code) which is written in
python could proabably be adapted to have a pyblosxom interface, their
current webfrontent is using web.py and some templates. it seems.

have never used it though.
