Not so simple if the original developer is dead, MIA, or uncooperative.
I think this is a clear deficiency of git and many other VCSs, which fossil avoids. It's clear that bug reports and commits will frequently cross-reference each other, so they should be tracked in the same system. Git only implements one half of the puzzle, leaving the other half up to others which ultimately facilitates vendor lockin.
