Is there a Git counterpart to svn:bugtraq properties?

I'm looking for a specification or guidelines on how a Git client should integrate with bug tracking systems. For SVN, there are bugtraq:-properties. Is there something similar for Git?

You can put this in your /.git/config file to work with TortoiseGit:

[bugtraq]
    url = http://jira.com:8080/browse/
    number = false
    warnifnoissue = true
    message = http://jira.com:8080/browse/%BUGID%
    label = Issue number
    append = false

There's seldom a question that has not been asked before. There already is a popular standard for project information like the link to a bugtracker and much more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP (Description of a Project)

As it seems that there currently is no such specification, I got that started:

integration of bug trackers with git usually works by parsing the git commit messages in the bug tracker.

i.e. you mention "fixes #1234" or "relates #1332" in your message and the bug tracker establishes the connection.

One way would be to use git notes (which I detail here), in order to store on top of any regular commit a 'bugtrag' note (in a notes/bugtraq namespace for instance).

That would allow an integration without rewriting the git repo history of commits already present.
