Have you considered OSLC-CM (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration
Change Management) specifications [2] ?

I think it *is* indeed the most advanced proposed standard for
representation of bugs (Change Management resources include bugs). It
has already seen quite a lot of proprietary implementations, but also a
few free software ones (including some we contributed).

It even supports representation as JSON (looking like [4]) even though
one might prefer a more generic JSON-LD representation (if that's on the
roadmap of OSLC-CM > 2.0).

I think it would be *muuuuuch better* to build on top of OSLC-CM than
reinventing a // wheel... but maybe it won't suit your needs.

WRT distributed bug tracking systems, we've even started adding some
OSLC-CM support to SD [3], but the effort is stalled currently.

I think I'll add such a pointer into Lars' blog comments to avoid people
missing the OSLC-CM specs.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
