It would be better if you:
* only use one URL for your different parts of the dev process. After
all, a bug is a bug, an issue is an issue and a feature request is a
feature request, no matter in what part of your dev cycle you are
* if you can't use one URL, set up one URL and redirect from there to
your separate URLs if needed.

:)

Seriously: try to imagine how the commit dialog would look - I guess we
would get into the "interface hall of shame"(1) really fast.

I've never even heard of this. The typical cases are with only one
system, where the system itself can separate different dev cycles. But
three individual systems for those?
