This issue has annoyed me for years, so this sounds pretty cool! I don't love the "cache" and "store" options... but it looks like there might be an alternative using libsecret or the gnome keyring. These alternatives can be found in separate packages or built from source it seems.
On OpenSUSE, I just installed " git-credential-gnome-keyring". On Arch, they use libsecret: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring#Git_integration. It looks like the gnome keyring one is deprecated (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36585496/error-when-using-git-credentia l-helper-with-gnome-keyring-as-sudo), so libsecret is probably the way to go. I've tried using /usr/lib/git/git-credential-gnome-keyring, but it doesn't seem to be working. Admittedly I'm just using a SSH session rather than a GUI session. I launched DBUS so I don't get errors but it's not saving credentials using "git credential approve". The "cache" option worked well though.

I immediately changed it, but for that not to happen again I searched for a way to not have to store unencrypted passwords for git-bz. The result is here https://github.com/jajm/git-bz/tree/git-credential It uses git-credential, so you can theoretically use any password manager you want, as long as you can write a git-credential helper for it (I use the builtin 'cache' helper, which stores passwords in memory) I thought it might interest some people here.
