Just now catching up. I think it's a fine idea to turn it into a
builtin. As stated elsewhere, this means the version reported is more
reliable (and saves me work which I had on my list to query 'git
version' instead of listing the version when git-bugreport was built).
It's true that there is more work to do on bugreport, it's true that
that work is moving very slowly, as I had a number of things on my plate
even before the world turned upside down :) At the time, Junio seemed
inclined to take git-bugreport as a standalone, and I didn't care very
much one way or another, so it seemed like a fine way to get the series
out of review and into use. As I said then, turning it into a builtin
down the road isn't difficult - so I'm happy with the general direction.
