If your patches consider just changing templates it sounds good.
Bugzilla is a good example: Most docs regarding autolinkification
stated that it's necessary to change Bugzilla's codebase, which is
not. You can achieve auto linkification for different viewers by just
changing templates of Bugzilla and customizing templates is officially
supported in Bugzilla's architecture. Is there any bug tracker
supported by SCMBug which doesn't have a flexible template engine and
doesn't support customizing those?

I wouldn't want SCMBug to patch Bugzilla's core just for
autolinkification because that is one more place where you have to
maintain compability with Bugzilla's release cycle. Fully supporting
Bugzilla 3.4 without the need to apply patches manually is more
important, in my mind, and everything that reduces the complexity in
the dependency between SCMBug and different bugtracker releases
should be welcome. You were always interested in using the official
bugtracker api for example and didn't work directly on the database,
patching bugtracker's core seems like a contrary solution to me.

Maybe the first thing to do is get a list of people who are
interested in autolinkification, or already use it, and which software
they use as bugtracker and repository viewer? This way we get an idea
which software combinations need patches of the used bugtracker core,
which just need template changes etc.

I use WebSVN 2.1 and Bugzilla 2.22.x and autolinkification is working
with template changes.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
