For something that intends to be such a major part of GNOME, not using
GNOME's git and bugzilla is a huge problem. Resisting that wouldn't make
people optimistic about things in future. I can't believe that it's that
big a deal for Zeitgeist, compared with what you'd gain when you need to
work with a much larger set of developers, testers, and users.

It's worth adapting, please, because being in the GNOME Desktop is more
than just getting a stamp of approval.
