Looks really nice, I wonder why there hasn't been a project with this exact name and functionality before. When I think about it, "git bug" is quite limiting (the bug vs. feature discussion).

Naming things is hard, but I can see that it might feel unnatural to use "git bug" to track features. Maybe that's totally okay because it does one thing - tracking bugs - very well, and the whole feature roadmap is living in another system/process anyways?

Bugzilla has been using the term "bug" to track features for nearly 3 decades now. Doesn't seem to hamper them.

I do want to extend to pull-request and more, so I'll need to at least make space in the CLI commands. Having a "git bug bug" next to a "git bug pr" is quite ugly.

Naming is hard, but I mostly didn't expect to reach that point :-)

Lack of a feature is a bug. After all, it's intended functionality that doesn't work!

It's also a denial of service, since the feature doesn't work yet, and thus should get assigned a CVE.

Isn't everything nowadays a bug?

Only once it gets fixed does it become a feature.
