Nope, is on all the different VCS: git, svn, hg, etc

That title gets added at creation time in the trac conf file, but only for
trac projects

Other VCS don't have such a field. I was trying to maybe come up with
loading a README file in the project dir, but then again, that doesn't
always have a description in the first lines, sometimes is empty, so is not
a standard file. So the best I came up with was "Project X under VCS Y".
Probably adding a description file on each project's root dir would be a
good idea, but I don't know atm if that would mess up anything on the VCS
side (or how much effort that would take, really).

Well, lorax has a trac page, that means it reads the more complete
(theoretically speaking) description, but I understand your point.

No problems.
