Details

Bugzilla should have builtin VCS support (.ie Git/Svn), or at least a standard extension. I'm currently using the VCS extension, yet patched up VCS/VCI to fit my needs.
Which kind of support do you have in mind? Such proposals for core integration have already been rejected in the past, see e.g. bug 199116. And bug 1068494 removed support for CVS entirely. About VCS/VCI specifically, this is a no-go per bug 395744 comment 15 (too heavy, unmaintained). So please give more details. :)
My main interest is having Bugzilla scan the commit logs for BZ:nnn comments, then annotating the associated tickets accordingly. Not at all interested in a patch viewer, as each version control system already offer such capabilities. Instead, the annotation should include commit URLs to the relevant site. I find this incredibly useful to improve QA, support, and even training. Another approach could be a commit callback that calls WebService. Yet not everyone has privs to create callbacks, including myself. Plus the commits should be displayed in its own section as opposed to a comment
