I'm not Thorsten, but I fear it won't work. Go-oo would have multiple of bug tracking systems, so it may induce more unsystematic confsuion to all. So suppose, if you fix some bugs which is in go-oo but not in OOo, so then, what is the IssueTracker? Do we host all possible variants of OOo? I don't think so.
