Ask HN: BugsEverywhere was a great idea – why didn't it catch on?

The BugsEverywhere (http://docs.bugseverywhere.org/1.1.1/)project has been dormant for a good five years but the idea of including a distributed bug database alongside your code seems like a no-brainer. Several other systems (Fossil, AccuRev, Veracity) include this functionality but I'm wondering why BE didn't catch on with the CLI crowd since it can be layered on top of a variety of SCM systems.
