If they were fully integrated into gnome.org bugzilla well enough that the project was a first-class citizen, and integrated into gnome.org git well enough that translators could work in their usual way ... would there be any fragmentation problems? I realise that the integration doesn't yet exist, but bzr <> git mirroring is perfectly possible (Launchpad has done it in the other direction for years) and synchronising two sets of bug data is hardly advanced stuff.
