Suggestion for IBugTraqProvider interface

Hi,
 
first a big "Thank you" to the persons, who implemented the
IBugTraqProvider-interface.
 
My actual project is to implement a provider for the Trac database based on
the VSTrac-project.
 
For my implementation I want to translate the repository-root adress towards
the an Trac-Url adress.
 
In the actual implementation, the choice, which provider (with his
parameters) should be used, is based on the working copy path.
That means, when I move or copy my repository to a different folder, I had
to reconfigure my BugTraqProvider. I think it would be
better to choose the provider based on the repository-root adress instead of
the an working copy path.
It would be nice, when the provider could define, if he needs an repository
root or an working copy path.
 
The parameters are already validated. To build up the parameter list, it
would be perfect when a button could appear right beside the
parameter editbox. Then I could open my personal Trac settings dialog to
build up the parameter list.
 
Summarized enhancement ideas:
 * Add optional choice, if either the working copy path or the repository
root should be used to identify, which provider is in use
 * Ask the provider, if he could edit the parameter list. If yes, show a
button to configure the parameters.
 * Add a function, which is called when the button is pressed (input: actual
parameter-list, output: new parameter list)
 
What do you think about this?
