Yes, Org-mode matches perfectly the needs for a personal bug tracker.
I use Org for all my tasks and software bugs are just a subset of them.
Or maybe using Org makes me think of "repair the washing machine" as a
bug? In both case, Org greatly helps tracking stuff.

I guess simple revisions can be emulated with notes: C-c C-z
But revisions themselves are not linkable then.
Or a revision can be a new subtree in this task? Then this
revision can have its own ID (check org-id.el in contrib/)
and you can link to the revision. But that's perhaps too
much structure for bug.

Not a single one :)

Maybe have a look at org-mode/ORGWEBPAGE/todo.org - but I guess Carsten
has some other secret todo.org :)
